The Captured Ones
Location
The day we met, I actually cried
I did, understanding that he would stay by my side
We walked and laughed together
I may have stopped if I had known he'd be gone forever
The first time he kissed me, I got goosebumps
The second time we kissed, my heart began to pump
He told me that he would never leave my side
And on that day, his love was what I acquired
The third time he kissed me was the last
Everything began to happen so fast
They grabbed his hands, but then he pushed free
He screamed and shoved, trying to protect me
I remember how it was on that day
It was raining and there was nothing to say
The tears began to roll down my dark cheeks
Until the enemy held me and I let out shrieks
I woke up on the dirty ship
Feeling a torturous pain on my lip
The ship stopped on a land they called "a dream"
And there were faces moving about like queens
Screams were heard all over
And I asked people if they knew my lover
They began to sell us off one by one
Until the time struck dawn
I was not in a dream, I discovered
And this life could never be recovered
These days, I must go through the same thing again
Picking out this cotton through this rain and pain
