When I Think of You

When I think of my king...I always thought of you
When I think of my muse...I always thought of you
When I think of my idol...I always thought of you
When I think of my love...I always thought of you
When I think of inspiration...I always thought of you
When I think of eternal anger...I always thought of you
When I think of pain...I always thought of you

You held my heart captive for so long, my Pharaoh
I fought for you
I won you

You brought me joy
You brought me happiness
You brought me sorrow

I felt the earth and the sun move
I felt envy
I felt rage
I felt sorrow

I searched for you and when I found you, you toyed with my emotions
These foolish games you play with my heart

I didn't know it then but I could never be free so long as you ruled my heart
So I pronounced it aloud one day

"He owns my soul" I whispered
And just like that...my soul was set free...
returned to me

You see, my Pharaoh, you no longer hold me
I am free, so please let me be

I died long, long ago along with our love

and now when I think of you....I no longer think of love

    1. Thanks Missy! That means a lot especially when I speak from my heart and bare my soul to the world.
