Hypnotic Hugs

The words, I don't want to be married anymore
Echo so loudly still in my mind
For months, literal an eternity drowning in salty tears
I felt nothing but trapped in time

You were here, for a while after this decision
Apart emotionally and mentally
And when you had to calm me to get whatever you wanted
You knew exactly how to manipulate me

I knew the truth, but I needed the comfort
Only your arms could provide
And you would put them around me
And continue to lie

"Everything will be ok", knowing what that meant to me
I let her calm me though
So easily, only her touch could do this
No matter how temporary, I am and was so low

This was the magic of your touch on my heart
I didn't mind you took it for granted
It's been months since I've had such
The withdrawals have never ended

God how I miss you stilling the pain
If only for brief seconds at a time
And the hope your false words gave me
Knowing I was being used, but it was all yours and mine

This is so touching, and heart breaking. So full of truth. You have told such a heartbreaking story, in such detail that I almost feel as if I know what you are going through. I really hope your life brightens up in the near future. Just keep writing and you will find your way. I will just emphasize; this poem... absolutely magnificent. It is honestly impossible to fault, and I think the reason for this is because how honest, and from the heart it is. I adore the title, the alliteration of it drew me in. I would pick out a few lines and tell you how I am most fond of those ones, but each line in each stanza is so jam packed full of emotion that I cannot pick one that stands out. Though that is a good thing. Such a strong, heartbreaking, flawless poem.

Thank you Tamika, so much for your in depth reviews. Momentarily, when someone relates, or understands, it is very much a of pride for me, for a split second, I feel good again, like I did something right, those brief moments where my mind allows itself to glimpse such things is a blessing, so thank you again for your kind words.
