Trapped

Why do I love you?
When you make me cry,
I wish I could hate you,
I really do try.
You are no good for me,
You are poison for real,
As long as I'm with you,
I won't ever heal.
You torture my soul,
Play games with my heart,
What scars do i have?
Where do i start?
You hold me captive,
And you know this well,
This is much worse than dying,
I am living in Hell.
You have destroyed my spirit,
Sucked the life out of me,
I am blinded by love,
It is too dark to see.
What will I do?
I just do not know,
I yearn for you still,
I cannot let you go.
So I will continue to be,
Your prisoner in chains
I am a pathetic mule,
And you hold the reins.
You have put a spell on me,
I will not get away,
I am trapped by your presence,
I will not get away.

hello

Dear Elizabeth, I found this line to be a little weak: "You are poison for real," but I don't have any suggestions for a rewrite. The rest was good. I can relate. Always, Cat

Oh My Dear Elizabeth

I have missed reading your writes, I am trying to catch up with all but I will be a long while. Nevermind. I am so sad to read this one, you who brings magic and smiles to the table then to have this trapped feeling. I hope all is well and you are ok. You put it into words wonderfully. Please take care. Love and wishes, Lyz. XX

The elicit heart,You talk of

The elicit heart, You talk of a heart you say I hold, yet in me you find a heart so cold Was I the lecherous maker of promise, who’s word you’d take, for life like this Was I a wizard with devotion like spell, playing your feelings as to know you well Did you not see my hearts forbidden, feelings deep and now, so very well hidden For I to know of this hurt you store, I to have dreams, a past, a life before That I would take your love, as and when I chose Create mystique that kept, my heart from blows Always in your green eyes I’d see reflections of a life, not meant for me Two peoples hearts and minds so fond an eloquence of love, soon to bond That I would now share with you another night, and with our passion, we two so willingly ignite Entwined in body hunger, tender is the touch, both captured in moments, we crave so much Each now sated and holding desire we’d sleep, words have been spoken we will not keep Ghosts of our past and truly forlorn is my fear, that I would love you, still I can not let you near I will not stay even though, I am both in love and enthralled, with my lady and, her eyes of emerald Do not play with my heart, Roscoe….
