The Exquisite Pain

The exquisite pain of knowing:

I've been tied down
for so long
I've forgotten freedom,
I long for your restraints.

Every almost morning
there's a flicker of
a former self
fighting to get out,
until I swallow
the bitter pill
and bite down.

I'm an addict
pretending
this is what I want.

I've reached my limit (again)
and I'm tired of dreaming.

So I'll untie myself tonight.

Freedom,
a new kind of pain.
