Bound, And Tied
Bound by unseen circumstance, and tied intricately to chance
Four white walls close in, becoming my private prison cell
Nothing is written in stone, yet the alone cuts to the bone
I have now found the difference between heaven, and hell
Heaven is where the heart resides, and hell is the heart that hides

Bound by you always on my mind, and tied to a past I left behind
A room in the national forest becomes my favorite playground
Hopes of tomorrow forever rise, and fall as time slows to a crawl
I have now found the difference between lost, and found
Lost is having to live without you, and found is being with you

Bound by frustration unjust, and tied to unadorned lust
Eyes fixated with the picture that looks within my soul
Images of life’s incredible delight flash clear, and bright
I have now found the difference between prison, and parole
Prison is distance times two, and parole is to my heart staying true

Bound by an impending death, and tied willingly to love’s breath
Mind consumed with fantasies, and dreams of a distant night
At times the loneliness seems to die, and without you so would I
I have now found the difference between darkness, and light
Darkness was before connection, and light is having your affection

Bound by a calendar that doesn’t advance, and tied to circumstance
I have now found the difference between destined fate, and chance
