Choke me

For you

I shut my mouth

choking me slowly now

resisting the urge to shout

suppressing each of my words

snuffing out each little breath

a jaded embrace

For you

I close my eyes

my thoughts withheld

just your feeble little lamb

my abilities for you to despise

no prince charming do I see

just an Antichrist

For you

I plug my ears

blocking each and every lie

 mixing truth with fictional fears

wiping the spit from my eye

deaf and arrogant

egotistical a*s

For you

I hide my hands

fist clasped tightly behind my back

fingers pressed upon my pulsating gland

ready for another truce-less attack

choking me slowly now

in peaceful solitude

I understand this sort of hell intimately~ you bring its raw edges out from the victim who won't be victimized to the vivid forefront~

I was talking to someone about this sort of non relationship nightmare the other day and she had asked why I was accomodating at my own emotional peril~ I told her I wasn't ~I was appeasing~ I said something like this

when you "accomodate" someone it's because you genuinely care about their emotions and mental well being~ when you "appease" someone it's to shut their whiny f***ing mouth the f*** up already~ =)~

these mental vampires abound~ and you gotta have some extremely strong reserves to survive their merciless canines~

powerful with impact~ perfectly described~

I forgot how damn good you are,like chalk washed away, the picture ,the heart you expose, is so precious, tender < I can not apologize for the never ending rudeness in the world,But next time it pops up in front of me I hope I knock its antlers off.

This one I missed some how tucked in with your other work... I'm glad I found it. The intimacy of this "violent" action is waht gets me. The restraint of rage. The inflicted pain not from the self, but "allowed" by it. I feel the emotion and I want to somehow see a way for breath to enter these lungs. You have me on edge and I really don't understand it still... I hope I never do really understand this type of suffering. Even more so, I hope I never cause it!
Great little poem Muse.

[Neville]

A very moving, splendidly descriptive and quite frightening work. One to read with the light on, I think. Thank you for making me feel. All good Things, Neville

WOW! Jeez Muse, you can write some poetry! That's like wow! I don't even know what to say. I'm speechless and Ricochet's never speechless. Incredible

[smurfett]

Very powerful. I love it! Beautifully written

[Clockwork]

I can say I felt this poem in my hand. There is a history of abuse in my family. I know that one of my uncles went through something similar when he was just a boy. It is all about the power and the control, the trill of draining the vitality out of the spirit and the soul. The anarchist is like an emotional vampire. They feed until just a shell remains.

Wonderfully powerful in its portral of passiveness in the face of aggression. It's not only men who dish this out though as I can testify! well written and raw and hard hitting in its venom.
