THE CHAINS THAT BIND US

Does he push you around?
Does he make you cry?
Does he hold you down?
Does he make you lie?
Does the feeling he gives,
Make you safe and secure?
Is the love that he has,
All that precious and pure?
Are the reasons we stay,
A love and a purpose?
Or the chains that bind us,
Hidden far from the surface?
"Why don't you leave him?"
Oh, what would they know?
There is something that stops me,
A reason I can't go,
There are people like me,
In homes everywhere,
Who are bound by a reason,
But who gives a care?
What holds us here now?
The restraints placed upon us,
What are the bonds?
The chains that bind us.
