Trapped in Your Love
When was it that love became a trap
A way to keep someone from running away
was it true when you said you loved me
that I was the most important person to you
that no one compared
or was it just a way for you to spin your web
to lay the bait
drawing me closer and closer with every sentence
till I am trapped in the same place as you
never to escape
because you love me
because if I left you would have nothing
because if i was gone you wouldn't want to live
so now I'm tied to you
never to escape
you keep me close because you love me
I can't have friends because you love me
I can't love myself because I let you love me
I let you love me in your time of need
and now I am your lifeline
as you feed off the life within me I wither
no longer the person I once was
your love smothered her
trapped her in a pit of constant fear
fear to do what is best for her
in case you were telling the truth
what if you were when you said
that life without me would be pointless
then it would be me who drove you to your grave
so I stay
because you love me
