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~

Ahh the tranquilty of the mind.....

choking or not it's the last refuge from the rest of the world.

Nice write!

Wow. Place this among your strongest poems in my opinion. Powerful word choice. The structure and rhythm are magnificent. I have shelved in my favourites. Good job!

Very haunting to say the least and bursting with emotion. I get the impression that you could say more. There seems to be so much hidden and left unsaid, but what you do choose to disclose is overpowering. Hope this is not written from personal experience.

okay so me being me and not all there at times i see the possibility of something hidden in your words. it could be referring to a desire for rough sex that is not shared by both but one gives in out of duty or maybe love...i could go on but i am probably wrong about this. anyway the poem is solid with a wonderful style.
