«Stockholm Syndrome» by Karlyn Miraflor


Your kind and gentle smile

An estuary of parallel universe filled with lies

I trip to fall behind.

Strangled by your captivating charm


False recompense on erroneous demands.

I trip to fall behind.

Defenseless to the conflict between the heart and mind

I keep falling for the stars dazzling in your eyes.


The latter part only made me collapse deeper with fondness and warmth

The idea of «we are one» took away the person I should become.

Stayed through the anguish of what I call love

If this is love; why do you keep on tearing me apart?
