erase, obliterate, no longer do you exist

Author's Notes/Comments: 

many try to control those they love....thinking somehow by controlling them they shall have them forever...however to control someone only serves to snuff out the very soul your scared of losing

Jo-anne, How powerful and right these words are. I know people you are talking about. They cause havoc in other peoples' lives. How do you deal with them? I still don't know! I feel the suffocation from them, tho. You are very gifted to bring this feeling with the words you use. Linda

Jo-Anne, Obviously you've run across two of my ex boyfriends. :) The message in this poem is an important one; problem is the control freaks that need to hear it won't listen! I like how you put this one together, made me feel like I was suffocating or drowning at someone else's whim to read the words you wrote here; and I haven't felt that way since I was with my last control freak boyfriend. Well done.
