Away From Your Grasp

Don't ask who it is, but know that this is about a person i dearly love and respect, and this person is one of the most loving, caring people ever....until anger strikes.

I ask myself, every now and then
Why you have to be this way
Always making the wrong judgment
Ruining my heart day after day

You make me feel like a big mistake
You make me hate everything I do
You never know how much it takes
How hard it is for me to satisfy you

 

You take away my only passion
To quench your thirst for pride
You don’t understand my devotion
But it’s too late, for now it has died

What have I ever done, tell me
To deserve this weight on my mind
Why should I hold myself guilty
Of every moment of happiness I find!

You don’t realize what you are doing
Holding me so tight in your grasp
I crumple under your look, heavily breathing
In my heart, in my soul, the pain is so sharp

I try so hard to escape your insanity
Covered by the shadow of your anger
It weighs heavier every day on me
As you turn into a frightening stranger

 

I truly don’t know you anymore
You’ve changed into another man
And I’m trapped inside your war
But fight back, I don’t think I can

I can see it through your eyes
The madness of this “other” man inside
I am unable to tell you lies
Your laws I force myself to abide

It seems to me your sight is flawed
I am not the girl you see in thought
The copy of your mistakes, less old
Your qualities are what I always sought

But it doesn’t matter now, not today
Not after all these years of regret
It is time for me to run, farther away
Away from your unfair, tight grasp.
 

Author's Note

Feelings can be exagerated sometimes but I guess that's how a poem is written...
