LIVING IN THE SHADOWS
by Paul Curtis I finaly looked into the shadows And saw where you live Because I've reached the end I have no more to give I really loved you And I thought you loved me But it wasn't love That you wanted from me You wanted control, of My every thought and deed You brow beat me and bullied Until you got me to conceed You've always been there Behind my tears Belittleing and undermining Feeding off my fears Deprecating me, correcting me Telling me I'm wrong Bleeding me until I am weak Making yourself strong But all those empty years I just couldn't see I was blind to just how bad You really were for me But now my eyes are open And I see the man within Those dark days are behind me And my new life can begin I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
