I'm a wanderer, a nomad...I don't live in one particular area, Just wherever I end up.

What did you expect from me
I'm lying here in agony
Crying out to the deep blue sea
I'm begging, Lord, just let me be

I've submitted to the wounds I bear
Shown everyone who didn't care
Gave my heart, my soul, my prayer
I know this now, life isn't fair

You twisted me and broke me in two
I shrink away at the thought of you
Tell me now, what can I do
To begin again, to start off new

I cried the most I have in years
Overcome by my deepest fears
All I can offer now is my tears
And wait patiently till the trouble clears

You took my soul, you took my core
I've never wanted anything more
Did you mean what you said before
That I will always be your little whore

I'm pleading now, let go! let go!
If you say you love me so
You'd free me from your nasty blow
And the bitterness  which you bestow

So now I make my final plea
Can't you just let go of me
I'm begging  you to set me free
You know you must! JUST LET ME BE!

wow this is a powerful poem..your pain and bitterness lifts off the page.
very well expressed emotions in this.
I hope you find healing and strength in your writing.
take care, jm

 ...when you walked into the room, I saw their faces,
you made it feel like time was standing still...and I felt fascination...
then you turned and smiled in my direction...
and my heart...gave me away.

Hi SorrowsMystress,

I wanted you to know that I read your poem, and it is filled with sadness and yet very powerfully writen. I am here to talk if need to.

Excellent verse.  Some people just never get enough of you, do they?  I can relate well to this one.

I can really relate to the last four lines...there is a person in my life who is away from me now but they still have power over me and I want her to leave me alone..when she calls me it stirs up so many emotions...and not good thoughts.   James
