manipulation of my heart

By donnamarie

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

your words sting my ears, yet freeze my heart. doublespeak and backtalk. you stifle my emotions cause you limit my voice and outlaw my words. manipulate my heart and toy with my hands. soon, they'll be cut off, along with my trembling voice. i can only bite back my tears for so long. then, the wrath shall flow: drown you til your manipulative hands will be grasping to stay afloat, your head submerges. your breath stolen, as you've stolen mine before. no sweetness to choke your screams, though. breathless screams, those are the worst. but that is the only way my heart can scream. as you choke it with your manipulative hands. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ twist and mold it. but i thought it was mine. but you can't understand "No!" not only from my heart, you manipulate and bend the other parts of me to your will... i'll slice your hand instead, and gouge your heart. i'll not bend yours to my will. you'll not twist mine to hold for a ransom i cannot pay. see the river flow. red and sticky and sweet.bitter am i! no means no. no matter what we are talking here, people. no means no. it is over. why can't he understand that? it has been over for a long time... you cannot own a person... that is, unless you are the U.S. then, you can own the world... but that is a completely different soap opera... oh, i'll shut up, now. please leave something if you've read this... please. i am so damn cute, you have to!!! and people keep reading w/out leaving anything... don't make me cry... :( Written April 7th, 2002 © on Apr 07 2002 01:37 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
