"A Prisoner of Your Love"

“A Prisoner of Your Love”


None other said it quite this way,
“You’ve got me locked up in chains
Sometime I don’t even know my name”
From the sultry song, “Chains” by Teena Marie

Dare me to elucidate….

You see, I can feel her.
Not to mention my own chains
That drives me to places some
Could interpret as insane

Should I mention the endless night
That I cried for you?

Or the day
That I fell to my knees
Crying as I pray?


Should I mention the endless night
That I cried for you?

Or the day
That we would meet once again,
And play?

Should I mention the endless night
That I cried for you?

Or the good day
I had when you promised me
That forever you would stay?

Should I mention the endless night
That I cried for you?

Or do I just sit and wait
Wondering if our love is still
Or if it’s just -too -late?

Or should I mention the chains no more
On your prisoner of love
Where a heart used to hurt so sore?

Sugaree,
one more time, again….
