till death

 the crushing comes in waves

tidal

should have taken a deep

deep breath

while i still had some

 

i can feel his every thought

about me

at me

reaching me no matter

where i hide

sucking the life

extracting my existance

like tiny intravenous needles

forever

wanting me to suffer

 

die

 

til death due us

if i can’t have you

 

the doctor says to take a little white pill

so i don’t

feel

see

it coming

 

like screaming in a nightmare

that no one

can 

hear

you

 

don’t you see he is (going to) killing me?

your Honor’s

order of restraint

means

nothing

without

carnage

 

His Right 

to

 

 

s

t

a

l

k

 

his

prey

with fangs that rip my

 

life

my

 

meaning

 

full

souls created in love

now weapons of my mass

destruction

human shields  of tiny

emotions

carried

through their

lifetime of

pain

resiliant survivors

conditioned

to grieve

 

adding burdens of guilt

to my escape from

a prison to a

warzone

 

held in

 

occupation

by a dictator

with power and hate

denied of nurture

seeking vengence

upon

 

my 

 

 

 

 

soul

 

til

death

Very gripping work. Excellent Kathleen

They say that people can not have power over you that you refuse to give them, and to a certain extent that is true. Unless the person is a homicidal maniac that stalks you. Then you have to take back your life and show him that you can be more dangerous than he is.
Great write. You relay a strong message about relationships that go bad - VERY bad! This is something that needs to be told on a broad scale because cases like these appear in family court every day. And regretfully, sometimes they even make the news in a horrible tale.
God Speed, my friend!
