Captive
And there I was, held against my will, desperate to breath, when you clearly didn't want me to I tried and tried, you wouldn't let go, you wouldn't let me breath, you wouldn't let me live, and I, in my love, in my foolishness, wasn't smart enough to push you away, instead, I held you closer and tried to breath with your weigh on me. You held me captive, far longer than I want to admit, it should have been easy getting away, you weren't holding me tight, you didn't even know you were choking me, so I was always the problem, I liked to be held captive, I wouldn't let go.
