Left Luggage

Gone, you parked me here

As usual to wait your return

What men took my place?

Such lessons I never learn

 

I'm gasping for air in here

A dark locker is bondage

You took the key to the lock

I'm unwanted left luggage

 

Claustrophobia eats at

What self-respect I had

As nearby lockers open

I'm sure I'm going mad

 

Is that a key into a lock?

Are you to free me at last?

Will you release my love

End my famine-like fast?

 

You returned, let me out,

For now I breathe easy

I fear you'll go again, I'm

Never less than queasy

 

The worm turned, no more

Will Charlie bend the knee,

The look on your face when

I left after turning the key!

 

I'm gasping for air in here

A dark locker is bondage

You took the key to the lock

I'm unwanted left luggage

Aw we all feel like this, both men and women. What other women took my place? Its that fine line between jealousy and possession and letting someone have their freedom. I believe if you love someone enough you let them go if they want to go, because love is free. But it's easier said than done. Then there's in love and just love, unrequited love, all sorts of love, with all this love around why is there so much hate in the world? Xx

This is such an intense write. Feel like picking up the luggage and carry it close to heart...?
