UNDER PRIDE'S THUMB
Folder:
JOURNAL #6 his look was of unquestionable intent
and was as good as it was fully meant
on his practiced proposal a good deal of time
he's obviously spent
he wanted only everything and nothing less or more
he wanted my heart my soul and the child I was about to bore
he expected me to submit to his hard won will
he claimed that the empty void that floated inside me he would
one day claim, refinish and fill
his promises were so loud that I can almost hear them still
his dreams were consummate as was his skill
not every day does such a magnetic wind of a man as this
get to fill this soul's sails
I'm just not so certain I can abide by the rules
his full possession entails
rationalization is the harshest form of a mental beating
to he who unfairly fails
for he whose hands have been previously harmed
little comfort can be found in the company of nails.............
