Love's Prisoner

Help! I'm Being Held Against My Will!

Alexis Sullivan
What is this place and how did I get here?
Why am I suddenly filled with hope and want?
What is this feeling I feel creeping upon my heart?
Is it.....Could it be....? Oh no, it can't be!
Love has captured me and I fear I will never escape!

How could this happen? When did this happen?
Hey, you there! What am I doing in this place?
I did not give you permission to bring me here!
I'd like to leave now and I'll take my heart back too!
What do you mean I can't go? That I have to stay?
But you don't understand, Love has taken me captive and I don't like it at all.

Don't you know what you have done? The damage you have caused?
My belly flutters when he walks by, my spirit sings when he smiles.
My heart skips when he speaks and my breath stops when he laughs.
No,no,no! This wasn't supposed to happen. Don't you see!?
I cannot remain here, for these emotions are much to strong.
They're getting out of hand!

I think I'll take my leave now, if you don't mind. I've been here far to long.
Undo these chains, I beg you! I don't want to be here! I don't want to be In Love.
I never asked for this, you know. I can't help it if my soul cries out for him and my heart longs for his touch.

Don't tell me I have to stay! That's not what I want to hear!
See, here's the thing. I'm not supposed to be here, so I'll just be going now.
But that's not fair! You have to let me go! You can't keep me here!
I'm not supposed to love him! I'm not supposed to need him!
You brought me here and now I command you to release me!

You're not listening are you? Oh, what's the point in arguing?
You'll never let me go, will you? I am destined to remain in love against my will.
I suppose the time has come for me to accept my plight and fight no more.

So, here I sit in the chair of Hope, bound in chains of Want.
With my Heart in Control and my mind defeated.
This is where I'll stay. This is where I belong.
I guess I am now and forever....Love's prisoner.
