Love

You trapped me and kept me prisoner.

Everything has always been your choice.

What I do...

What I say...

What I think...

When will it be my turn?

 You have always been my first choice, but why am I not yours?

If I do not matter, then why won't you let me go?

All you do is suck the life right out of me.

What else do you possibly need me for?

I am probably the last person to still love you... 

And do you want to know why?

It's because you ruined me. Manipulated me. Lied to me. And brainwashed me.

I belong to you.

I am your prisoner...

Your slave...

Your lover.

We speak of freedom, but I am always dragged away against my will and put back in the pit of despair that you call love.

But don't you worry... I will continue to love you, just like I always have.

I like it, this reminds me of a movie i saw it's called the wrong boyfriend.

I'm always intrigued by a woman's capacity for submission to manipulation and exploitation... What is it that makes you love a guy that uses you?

[HC Abiona]

It was actually a one sided love that I had for a person who would constantly lead me on. I don't remember what I loved about him, but it was something that I couldn't break away from. It was a long time ago and I am so glad that I no longer speak to this person. The benefit is that he inspired me to write a lot of poetry

[Jibey]

It certainly brought out the intensity of your emotions...

I like this poem, I love the emotions shown here.
The last line was true in today's time.
Nowadays, most of the love stories of each human being are like this and I think you made a poem perfect for them. Nice Work!
