bondage...tied and bound

Untie the ropes..if you notice..I still bear the scars of being tied to someone before.

Hard as I have tried..I can't be locked away for the sake of love.

I asked for nothing more than for you to love me...as I love you.

But once when my back was turned...You tied me to what you expected of me,

You bound me to what you thought I should do...If I really loved you.

If you want me to walk with you in this life unfolding...I will..

But do not expect me to walk inside your footsteps..

If you want to know something about me ...ask me...I will not lie to you.

I have lied before...and lied again to cover lies...and I won't again..

A time or two I lied to myself..and more than once I almost believed...I was,

or could become who they wanted me to be for them...instead of myself..

If you love me....Don't ask me if I love you....alpha, omega, my love for you is constant.
