Bought, Sold..., Returned?

For the breakup nonet challenge

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Locked in a gilded cage, bars of gold

Adorned with diamonds, furs, and silk

All the things I'd thought I'd need

Had I known, had I seen

I was just property

Is it too late?

He owns me

Does he?

NO!!
