UnCollaring

a caress I did feel
a touch so very real
soft words were spoken
then promises were broken

drawn into a lie
I could only watch and sigh
the warmth still on my cheek
only tried to find what I seek

tears were shed on both sides
I was not allowed to decide
my neck soon was bare
and I could only sit and stare

when all was said and done
from this place I wanted to run
only have one regret
to scene with Her I did not get
