Sometimes we love someone who isn't worthy of our heart

Tender/

passion's kiss from genesis/

My love for U, my nemisis/

How could I C your blackened heart/

The pleasure U derive from pain/

I strain/

Beneath the weight of ur power over me/

Living inside a fantasy/

I know the truth............reality/

But running toward catastrophy/

I see/

you're just no good 4 me/

you'll never be/

Remove the chains; please set me free!/

I cannot go, although I know/

your heart's so cold/

A tundra in an arctic cave/

I fear I've lost; I'm lost I fear/

you hold me tight then disappear/

into this dream.........Loathsome nightmare/

This place from which I can't escape/

What have U done/

What have U done/
To my yearning soul?!

At first I snagged over your 'text mssg. abbreviations,' but after getting on with them, I find they are wonderful. I'm kind of 'older,' (61), so this is still new (these abbreviations), but you use the short forms well, and I find this piece of writing a hypnotic piece with so much strength and resolve. My favorite lines are: "Beneath the weight of ur power over me/" and "A tundra in an arctic cave/" and "you hold me tight then disappear/" The anguish of the last three lines is chilling, tragic and resurging at the same time. Realization provokes change. Beautiful piece.
