Quidam's View

Forcibly

by Colleen Barry
Written 01-24-06

Hostage here holding him.

Handcuffed; binding him with my embrace…

Give him up to no one.

For no amount of ransom

Except the cost of love.

 

If it means that I shall force

Him to stay here miserably,

Then he will be here

Simply…

Forcibly.

 

His will no longer matters

More than the will of me.

As long as I am satisfied,

He’ll be here under lock and key.

Until he learns to love and love it,

Freedom he won’t see.

Sitting here loving me,

Oh so forcibly.
