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~

And this one... what am I saying? all of your work

[An owl on the moon]

Your words echo the pain so many find themselves in... the longing for peace that allows one to exist in such a dark world of pain... This is an overwhelmingly stark, profound work.

[Susanna F]

This is so well-expressed and intense. I've felt exactly that way so often in my life, especially growing up. You are an amazing writer!

[Michael X]

to be able to reach such depth is a feat of it own, and that is why I'm
addicted to your writing, it is otherworldly that you capture realms
if only in words.

A amazing poem. When we give up control. We go on a wild and different path. I like the strong desires and statements in this poem. Thank you for sharing this amazing poetry.

I really like this...

[Blue Ivory]

OK, this is exactly the message I have been trying to convey to my best friend. Except she's no Antichrist. But the rest all goes! Thank you for writing what I haven't been able to!

Wow, this is so good!

[TWISTED NIGHTMARE]

this was an outstanding piece... there is something in your writing that gives off this feeling that i can't explain... great write from an amazing writer

[Judy Ponceby]

I can feel the pain in being stifled, in submitting without expressing ones own needs and desires. Intensely written and well done Muse. :)
