Stockholm Syndrome
Attracted like a naive moth to a flame,
There was no one but me to be blamed.
Wandering alone in this smoky, dark haze,
My heart, body, and soul became ablaze.

Sweet, loving words blindfolded my eyes,
Building a home in those pitch black skies.
Lost in life's endless, bothersome conundrums,
Developing symptoms of Stockholm Syndrome.

A capturer consumed by mad insanity and rage,
Trapping an innocent bird in a decorated cage.
A victim of a once, tragic beautiful lie,
Unable to cut off this blood-coated tie.

Abandoning me with scraps of confusion,
Now I awaken from this self-created illusion.
Suffering from a gruesome, mental contusion,
A drained soul in search of a lifelong solution.
