Tortured Hearts
It strains against chains
that hold it bound.
It dies a thousand deaths
slowly it drowns.
It is told 'No, no, no'
but it just wants a chance.
The head screams 'just let it go'
so it is forced to dance.
it dreams of freedom
it wants just to run.
it wishes things were simpler
like when it was young.
it screams like a banshee
of the pain it is wrought.
It cries late at night
as the chains are pulled taut.
It feels almost empty
like it's missing it's parts.
all it needs is a smile
one of many tortured hearts.
