Break Free

You stand before me

Weapon in hand

Wanting to slash my throat

Is what I understand,

You say you love me

Love does not carry such hatred

So how can that be,

I believe you have love

Confused with obsession

The kind you are wanting

Does not reside here

I beg of you

Please find another.

Your freedom is worth fighting for. A very moving piece. A love hate relationship can be too destructive. Great poetry.

This is real poetry. The dance between love and hate is very close. I like the story and the wise ending. Hate can bind people in the bad way. Better to run then to know years of torture. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

When I read the poem, I remembered John Lennon being killed by an obssessed fan and I think this really is an exact representation of that. Many artists are being targeted by their fans and it's hard for them to even go outside their own houses because of the fear of ending up dead. I like how you stated that love should never be an obssession and that, maybe, should be a living principle in each of us.
