PAST LOVE

Yesterday,
A lifetime ago,
I loved you
Above all else.

You taught me how
To honor
And respect
Myself.

THEN

You changed,
Became
Controlling,
Arrogant
And abusive.

Images,
Play wickedly,
Creating havoc
In my mind.

I live in a
Constant state
Of terror
And fear,
Of you.

You,
Who once
I thought
So loving,
So kind.

You haunt
My dreams
From beginning
To end.

Such long hours
Of darkness
Since you ceased
To be my lover,
My friend.

Truths, Lies and Imagination,
The way my life has been
The person that I truly am,
Is very rarely seen. ©das

Tragic love. Why don't you leave him?
*just kidding, it's only a poem, I know*.
Dark poetry is right. Let's see if I can dig up something darker than this..lol

You do a good job using short lines to express some pretty painful realities.  I hope this creep stops pestering u before someone takes him out!      j/k

But I do hope you can move on from this painful history.

My writing is based on truths, lies and imagination - this one is a lie. Thanks for the good words.

I am an enigma, even unto myself.
A puzzle unsolved, a mystery maybe until beyond death.  ©das

It certainly does, I am fortunate though that it does not apply to me and never has and at this time in my life probably never will.
