Hi... This is one of the first poems that I wrote when I seriously started to try my hand at writing poetry... It's of the thoughts of a woman stuck in an abusive relationship. Read and comment ABUSE Your power over me is unwarranted Let go of me and let me be I don't want to be controlled by you any longer To wallow in a dream world, in a fog of unreality Where nothing is defined Where I chase after illusions in vain And always it ends with me holding out an empty hand Why? I ask myself I put myself through this pain, this madness, this torture A dance with despair That I initiate, that I invite, that I enjoy? What a sick, sad thought I wonder sometimes what kind of a fool I am Then I relive the crippling hunger that yearns An awful dark void in me that needs to be filled And I am brought down to my knees Kneeling in front of you Begging of you How many tears have I shed for you? My sorrow would overflow the oceans And spill onto the land In great,dark torrents The liquid shiny and black with rage Swells of anger that seep into the ground Poison that eats away leaving wounds that never heal How much more can I survive? Before I break Wither and die I am shackled in chains and I am imprisoned The captor and the captive is one and the same Bound in constraints of my own making And only I hold the key to freedom
