Chains

A poem about a relationship I was in.

You locked me in a room,

threw away the key.

The only eyes on me,

Are your beady blues.

Why did I think that I could trust you?

I move around in the chains,

Trying to shuffle them off.

You walked in the dark room,

Saw me trying to get them off.

You walked over to me,

Took a saw,

and tried to cut me in two.

I was terrffied,

But we danced this dance before.

As I blew the hair out of my face.

This tiny room,was an even tinier place.

The four walls suffocated me.

Just as I said that you tried to waterboard me;

The water was poured in the old t-shirt,

I couldn't breathe,

I started to drown.

When you let me go,

I fell to the ground.

I cursed at you under my breath,

I looked up and saw Death.

I begged him to take me,

But he shook his head.

I looked down,

As You walked in,

You carried a knife and a garbage bin.

I sighed as you started to slice me up,

Like a ham.

I knew that I was damned.

You threw my remains in the garbage bin.

The bloody pieces started to move.

And that's when You knew you did NOT win.

This poem is about a relationship I was in.This is the sequel poem to the poem '' Control.''

After reading your author's note I'm not sure how much of this really happened but this man should be thrown in jail and kept there. You've portrayed him as evil and demonic and it's a good thing you got away from him. It's hard to understand why people become this way and one can only guess he experienced these things himself growing up and was re-enacting them on you.

He's a horrible person. I'm sure you'll find someone more normal in the future if you haven't already. Your words in this poem bear a lot of weight to the situation and one can only read with horror the behavior you had to put up with. It's good to see you putting your feelings on paper. Keep writing.

Thank you. He's still out there,that's the scary part.He's still trying to find ways to make my life miserable..Some of my friends are on his side..He is a liar,a cheat...an abusive manipulator.

[Soul Fire]

and i've found someone much better.

[Relic]

It's good to hear you found someone else. It's scary to know he's still out there though.

[Soul Fire]

Yes, it is.The scarier part is he is a 16 year boy acting like that..wait until he's an adult...

[Relic]

I'm sure he'll wind up in jail or prison someday. Stay away from him.

It's a great way to describe the 'non-literal of what you went through, and the last line is excellent :)

I like the ending a lot. Something can't be killed or defeated. I like the flow of description and the perfect ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
