Iron Grip

He held her heart

In an iron grip

And as much as she tried

She couldn't break free of it

She wasn't strong enough.

 

She wasn't strong enough

And as much as she didn't want to admit

She didn't want to break free

As much as she hated him

She loved him

Just the same

 

She needed him

He painted her world

With vibrant colors

Without him her world

Would be stuck in shades

Of washed out gray

 

Love held her in an iron grip

And she dared not

To break it.

I have no idea where this came from. I don't like but what can you do?

Interesting. i like how it doesn't tell u want he is doing by holding her with his iron grip. rather, i like how it leaves you to think, instead of to know. i also like how its so... whats the word, relate-able. you can easily relate to this, because its a true feeling but at the same time vague. i like it, truely... ha as if i haven't likes your stuff before...idk..

I like it. It's got a quality every girl understands, and that in itself is attractive enough to enjoy.

Exquisite emotion!
If you think deeply about this,
it kind of describes an abusive relatioship.
Where the abuser does have an "iron grip" about the victom,
and at the same time the victom hates whom who abuses him/her
in the relatioship because they abuse him/her, but they cannot
even dare "break the iron grip", because they really love the person and does not wish to let them go.
So to obtain the love, him/her "didn't want to break free".
That is what I've interperated from this lovely piece. Great job! =]

Beautiful. There's a bitterness, but at the same time, there's a desperate need. The way you portray the inner conflict is fantastic; smooth and flawless. Well done!

I like it, bitter but....awesome. I love the 1st stanza.

I like it! I like how you handled her conflict. She hates the guy but at the same time she feels like she needs him there. Good work!
