Thats how you felt, you said When I chose to walk away. I finally saw what you were up to Through the pain And in my weakness, I needed someone, But, You were the wrong one. In the beginning, I couldnt see Your clever manipulation.. your sympathetic words.. You seized me with your cunning mind. You finally had me wrapped In layers of self-doubt. I was losing me I had no place to hide.. except in fitful moments of sleep You pushed me into a corner, Surrounded by a barbed wire of lies and promises.
You nearly had me.. You nearly gained complete control Over my frantic mind..
But, I didnt give in I wouldnt let you And with the tiny vestige of strength that remained I turned away And found the path I walk along right now With no fear of shadows and of you
I hope I have finally banished you With these words I want no more of you Just... go
I am not only shocked but impressed with this write. So very full of emotion, and Raw is the perfect title for it. from start to finish you deliver, with purpose, with poise, with a gentle elegance that is clearly you.
I hope this allowed you to be free from the burdens that are clearly inscribed within each line.
Beautiful work, m'dear. Beautiful.
Love, ~Poe

Sally, this was incredible! It seemed like someone yelling their inner thoughts in order to finally give themselves some peace from a horrific event.
