Powerless Pawn

Love Hurts I am a powerless pawn
In a dangerous game
I am only a victim,
With no reason or name
I am his captive
He holds my fate
My future looks bleak
As he closes the gate
No one can see this
No one but me
My bonds are invisible
They think I am free
But loving him
Is not a choice
It’s demand on my heart
It strangles my voice
I live in terror
I fear the worst
And although he assures me
That I’ll never be hurt
I don’t believe him
He’s said this before
Once I had faith
But I don’t anymore
It is hard to tell if when
It is hard to tell if when you say, "but loving him is not a choice". Is it the same who holds you hostage? Hard to tell as written. This sounds like a story I know about a mother who was arrested without charges, merely because she was a witness of a crime her son was accused of doing, and the person that committed the crime was wealthy and in the public eye. Happens all the time--- but I never see any wavers of the abuse flag harping about it!! Do you?Be a survivor. I hope if this is a true story you choose to be a survivor. If it was someone who committed suicide, to me, they are a survivor who chose to die rather than be a victim. ~peace~
Oh wrong poem--no suicide here...but could be.FYI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeCjOh0KCPU

PS every bit of violence that winds up in prisons has usually had it's roots in 'domestic violence'. Many people are unaware of that. They only see the wrong done, not the wrong of neglecting to prevent it through teaching things seen with the heart and not touched with the hands. I also want to say---(if this is a true story) you have a choice---unless there are shackles---you have a choice, but you appear to want to be held hostage. You always have a choice.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."
"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
I really like this poem. I
I really like this poem. I read it 3 times already. Also, I just listened to the song "victims of love" By Good Charlotte. Reminded me of that a little.
Keep wanting to comment on
Keep wanting to comment on this. I do hope that you are not really a victim of abuse but if you are, I hope you find the strength to walk away. Personally I've been victimized in my past but I refuse to BE a victim. Be strong! You are not a pawn. Put your faith in your own heart and the Great Mystery. You'll be alright.
