You love to paint.
You teeter on the line between
Hedonism and Asceticism
with every move of your fingers
each shape you make in the clay
Each word is a chain
Wrapping around me
Trapping me in this idea
You have created
There are no keys to unlock
Me from your grasp
Only my words
Can undo your chains
But I'm tired
Of fighting
