Too Tight

I sang to you as your circled me,
Binding me as you were bound,
Mutually attached, tightly knit.

I asked you to loosen the binds,
I couldn’t sing like I used to.
The binds were loosened, but then,
The restraints tightened again.
You said I needed to hold them,
I only wanted to sing.

I held them the best I could,
Keeping the tightness at bay,
Tighter and tighter you pulled,
And little by little I gave way.

I forgot the words to my song.
You bade me “Sing, love, sing.”
I tried, but out came silence.
I needed to be set free.
