Captive

By MistressofMayhem

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I lift my battered body up off the floor straining to move my head. I see your figure walk out the door remembering words you've said... "You're mine to hold, to kiss, to touch," you told me time again. "I'll love you forever, befriend you as much until our lives shall end." But as time lapsed you went astray, my heartstrings growing weak. You controlled my actions, all freedom went away; I wasn't allowed to speak... To speak of the ways you beat me down; I had to disguise my scars. You made me your queen without a crown, you locked me behind bars. My body was your temple, but I could no longer hide. As I lived this awful life questions stood in my mind. "You're mine to hold, to kiss, to touch," you told me time again. Why did you think that this was enough to take back your uncontrollable sin? I've let you walk all over blessed me for the certain very last time. I've taken control, a new road I can see... My life is now mine.No need to comment on this unless you want to. This was like a 5 minute write when I got bored today in second period. Read if you'd like, but I can't guarantee perfection. Written December 4th, 2001 © on Dec 04 2001 09:20 AM PST   0 • 1
