Analysis of Bridled Heart

You've placed a bridle around my heart

you lead it as a slave

it obeys willingly

betraying my mind

enticed so easily

you blow down my inhibitions with the force of a hurricane

how can I deny you?

The more I try to resist

the more I realize my efforts are futile

You reel me in with words unspoken

reluctantly I submit to your commands

If you lead me to uncharted territory

will I go with you, unafraid

or will I stand my ground

will I swim with you in troubled waters

or will I regain control of my senses

only time will tell just how strong you are

this power you have over me is frightening

you scoff at my reasoning

make light of my boundaries

but I refuse to open Pandora's box

you may lead me to water

but you will NOT make me drink

I will not sip of the cup of eternal regret

nor feed on the bread of sorrowful shame

your influence is strong but there is one that is stronger

it lives inside of me and ignites my spirit

it is immune to your attacks oh valiant one

firm in its resolve it stands defiantly

like a city fortified

you may be Samson, but I know your secret

your repeated attempts at invading my kingdom

only reveal more of your own vulnerabilities

take caution dear warrior

or when you least expect it

the hunter may become the hunted

but for now I sit

captive to your affection

entangled in your lasso of love

enamored with your intentions

You've placed a bridle around my heart

you lead it as a slave
