My lover,
shrouded in darkness
painted streaks of hate
across porcelain
perfection
He wills me to
look at him
boring holes
through my heart
I cared not to see
pain caused by
bitter words
glaring from once
loving eyes, now
plotting against me
The door to freedom
is blocked by tall,
immovable anger
He waits with sadistic
pleasure, eyes gleaming
knowing I will try...

Tiersdin,

This was deep with emotion - almost paralyzing...  I could feel the dilemma you faced.  Excellent poetry.

Tiersden,
The title drew me in and the poem swallowed me up, I like very much  
a very intense poem

Wow!  Great poem.  The situation is much like my own.  The title is very fitting.  Some people get "sadistic pleasure" from tormenting others with their words.  Great!  Thanks for touching my heart.

Thought I'd peruse the words of a friend.
More verse edged in pain and hope.
