SLAVERY

from her points of view,
filled with apprehension and alarm
she knew,the truth about lying
and those intoxicating dreams
draining her thoughts away
delaying the time she spent thinking

its like being freed from desire
though,hope is not worth hoping
wishes could be washed away.
continually recurring to the mind
evoking lifelike images,
vivid yet disturbing.

whatever affects one,
correspondingly affects the other
in sorrow or anguish.
favouring one alternative over the other
prejudice much?

boy,
you held her in slavery.
