i know..i hate that place, and the necessity of arriving at that place, once power has been given over...you do an excellent job of describing specifics generally, and yet pulling out similiar experiences and feelings in your readers. nice!
As always, your poetry captures its subject with a sensual and intimate embrace! I adore this line: "Operated upon without any anesthesia" How freak'n intense is that! I love your voice in this piece...it reverberates in the mind! Excellent and powerful write!

Excellent! Such a true poem. you hit so exact on the emotions and feelings.
Thank you
Tracey
Fantastic write! Does this hit home! Allow ourselves? Yes, in a way. We choose the people who will teach us what we still haven't learned, but not conciously. Then we kick ourselves for letting it happen.
How indeed... some of us seem wedded to a cross that we just can't seem to put down. This impacts like a body blow with a sense of dark pathology. Like the ivy that clings, it is difficult to work out where the suckers have got a hold - and, in fact, whether the ivy is draining the wall or holding it up... sorry, jus ramblin and really ought to be sleepin... Ultimately the only ones who can call a halt to having the life drained from us is... us... "No" is a word I have personally yet to discover, I think. Get well soon, Jude. LOL Kate xx
You've penned a brilliant piece that many will understand...because they, too, wonder how they got there. I know I do. Strongly penned, emotional write--well done!
"Praying for release"... know that feeling, Sir Ace. Very well done, indeed. Now, take some time to commune with Mother Nature to restore your balance.
Peace,
Carolyn
It is a cronic human condition, Robert. We let hope tint our judgement and we believe what we want to believe as, too often, we enter into relationships with our eyes wide shut. Excellent write, though disturbing to be reminded that most humans can be easily deceived when their egos and/or heartstrings are being played.
Take care,
Sherry
I sometimes wonder, is it our blindness that keeps us moving forward, trying again and ever again, or is our blindness our recurring downfall? Perhaps both. Well done.

It is that last question that haunts us when we are healing from such a situation that you have discribed. A qunestion that needs an answer so we do not repeat the lesson, but instead learn from it. Lossing trust in future relationships would not be the answer. Being aware of the true nature of the one who is part of this experience is not to be forgotten as we move on. Can you tell I have been there? Thanks for the timing of this write as it is a great reminder to me not to get drawn back into such a situation. The temptation when dressed in such a fine manner can be overpowering.
Having been through this and still suffering the aftermath, I can only hope and pray that if it is personal, you will soon recover and have your full spiritual balance soon!Knowing your strength, you are already there! Superb write as only you can do!
I'm treading very carefully, Jude, trying to make sure I don't revisit this kind of pain. You've captured it well. I hope it's a flashback and not a current condition. The poem cries out from the gut. ~~Nordette
Yes, the pain is obvious, and so acute that it stabs the reader, as much as the poet. I deeply sympathize, and from the opposite edge of this heartrending poem, wish you the healing changes that brought me here... I didn't believe it could be, but now I know it's possible. Please believe, too.

Robert, We learn from experience in life to 'choose our battles', and those we battle beside. Although sometimes we find our allies to be our worst enemies in the end, we often wind up kicking ourselves for ever trusting them in the first place.
It's all another life experience...and their is no anesthesia to numb life's discomforts..We just simply have to take the pain and recover with a new and better understanding of what and how it all took place.
With each and every step..we do grow stronger.
Excellent write and I hope you make a full and quick recovery.
