these
breath holding spells
have held me captive
i'm a free living soul
hostage of own words
immortal in this world

-

Not every poem in your head makes it to the paper,
Some stay in there to hold you hostage at nights too.

While rescuing her from the world,
he unknowingly made her his own hostage.

-

You're my hostage
for this night
Your movements...
Allows by my eyes
It's all about
Rhythmic in and out
Until my wet gates
Need some drought.

-

Your love has held me hostage
For so many years
I don't know how to
Live without you anymore

Trapped, breath less
I can't seem to escape
Even when the doors
Are wide open

I'm suffering,
They see that I'm suffering
From something they call
The Stockholm Syndrome

Darling,
Will I ever set myself free?

-

I gave you my home
& you made me a hostage.

-

—the heart.

I dwell in a cage. The cage is an intricate combination of my insecurities and fears. Although the cage is not strong enough to stop the rays of happiness, self-love and hope from entering the cage, it forces me to reflect upon my weaknesses and flaws. The cage makes me feel terrible. It numbs me for a split second. I try to break free but I cannot let go of my fears that feed the cage. It seems that all the happiness can't overpower all the fears. It feels as if I am a hostage in my own cage.

-

All those conversations
Now i feel like
A verbal hostage
Irony is
The ransom was me being a hostage

Sometimes the best way to comfort someone is to just listen to them. If someone bursts into tears, please won't stop them or ask them to calm down. Just listen to them patiently. Lets them be vulnerable, and let go of all the pain that had hold them hostage.
