Spellbound

A poem about a doomed relationship. She loves him, he treats her badly. He makes promises he cannot keep and she takes him back. Now she realises they are doomed.

'Spellbound' 

You're holding my heart hostage, 

Afraid to let it go, 

That's not fair,

One look from you and I can't breathe,

When did you sink so low?!

 

One glance into your eyes,

And my logic goes out the door,

I forget all the pain and misery,

I don't think I can do this any more.

 

You play on my weaknesses, 

You know just what to do,

You know the words to whisper,

To make me stay with you,

 

But I have to break the cycle, 

History cannot repeat,

I have to do what's best for me,

It's time for us to admit defeat!
