[poetry]

Trapped
by: Me

You've taken away my heart's desire
with fists of rage, your eyes like fire
One black eye and welts on my hand
my tears crash down like waves on the sand

Just what went wrong
with the life I waited for
The love we had
shoved out the door

You broke my ribs
But I forgave you
You said you loved me
and I believed you

But now as I lay here on the floor
I realize I can do nothing more
for the solace I need will never come
because I am in your possession.
