He thought that he controlled her
body, mind, and soul
when he made that promise
"To have and to hold"
she belonged to him
until the end of time
she was his possession
his most precious kind
he told her what to say
what to eat, what to think
never understanding
he was pushing her to the brink
he was her lord
her protector in his world
never stopping once to
understand the girl
his love was just a prison
but she knew he
would not understand
why she had to walk away
from the prison, and the man !
