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~

Submission doesnt befit you.

wow brilliant I love your style

[Aidz]

Wow the power in some of the lines.... touchingly beautiful even though it tells of pain

[Amplyyours]

Wow that scene is being played out in many house tonight. Yet the way you describe it is new and fresh to me esp. the last two lines. They suggest to me that death of love given and the beginning of indifference.

What a lovely read

nice work...is this the repetitive cycle of society where one is held back, choked by another with their abusive hold, and the only answer is to stand and take it, I bet this is kind of how all those women feel in the Middle East, I just can't understand how this abuse is still part of this world, it would be a better world, life, society if this abuse didn't exist...

exceptional work...

You made me root for you, go ahead, hit him! I think you did what you said you like to do. The poem had this affect on me, because of the bold print and the bold notion expressed. Very graphic, no trouble visualizing this picture.

[Chantelle]

I agree, almost everyone can related to the feeling of suppresion and a complete felling of helplessness one way or another. This is well written and has left me wondering what miht happen next.

Incredible that this form of relationship still exists in this day and age. Even though I see it on a daily basis, this poem paints a perfect picture of the actuality. Howvever it does it with graceful, wonderfully paced language and phraseology that it leaves me awed. It is an accurateley beutifully auful representation of reality

Power beyond measure you have penned here my dear friend.........I step back in awe.

[Dahlia Phoenix]

You have a talent that I am jealous of! lol

This poem is great for the feelings being described. The way you so freely speak is like your singing a song to others to hear. I love it completely in a way I have never loved poetry and I mean this! Many would say the same thing but I'm not! Brilliant!
