Your spiteful worlds
come down on me
with a sting
like freezing rain

I stand before you
helplessly
A pawn in this
cruel game

You build me up
to break me down
I pray for this
to end

But you keep on
relentlessly
Finding pleasure
in my pain

I've come to lose
myself in you
Nothing left
to gain

And as I turn
to run away
I realize
I will never be
the same

Something has to change. An undeniable dilemma. But I am not a burden anyone should bear.

Great poem danni. This sounds like a very destructive relationship that is benefiting no one. You painted this picture very vividly.

I am not a poet, I am merely one who speaks in emotion

Mistikman-thanks much for your comment. No, one like that doesn't benefit anyone. I got out of it, but not soon enough. The scars run deep. Anyway......thanks again!
