Chains- A Poem

The past

Chains me

To you

Tied

To my thoughts

Breathless

Pacing

Over and Over

Only sleep

Releases me

Each step

Is one step

Back

But I need you

The pain

Keeps me here

I love the way in which you've expressed the emotion and pain that the person in your poem is experiencing.
