Bridled Passions

What should the person do? Ask or keep silent?

Kyrielle


Bridled Passions

Release my poor heart. Let it beat
wild, strong and free. When you caress
my hand with a touch so discreet,
I bridle passions I possess.

Your bewitching smile makes me weak.
But loving words I must suppress.
Would I lose you if I misspeak?
I bridle passions I possess.

Tell me where I am in your heart
because now, my life is a mess.
I see your flirting as cruel art.
I bridle passions I possess.

Would I be better if you went
away? I’d have naught to confess.
but memories would soon torment.
I bridle passions I possess.
