Hostage

I've been following this person for so long

It’s funny but chasing them never felt wrong

I had such a burning need to feel her touch

I never knew I needed it this much

And then one day she beckoned me

I wanted to turn, run and flee

But she had a gun to my head

So I submitted to her instead

She holds me hostage every day

But honestly I don’t want to get away

For my captor as you see

Is just the smarter side of me
