Kept Hostage

Kept Hostage
SVH

A prison of pressure, all kept inside
And soon enough there are things I can no longer hide
The places you've set, the boundaries you've made
Were way too generous, at least in your words, so you claim
I made my escape, or attempted you could say
And yes, i've survived, lost my heart on the path
All covered in dust, abandoned and abused by your wrath
Something inside of me died horribly that day
That moment you said go away
I, of course, too angry to submit
Asked questions, all of them made to fit
The situation was at its climax no worse could it get
I strongly suggested you best leave it be
Only, you didn't, stuck to my comments insultingly
Called me names, made me feel quite used
I couldn't go back on everything that was fused
A ticking bomb, bound to explode into a million shards
Untimely, it did, struck me straight in the heart
I gasped for breath, I wheezed my last one
All because you left me, for another “hun”
I don't know how to explain it it happened so fast
But who cares anyways, like you said in the past
Well now I'm involved Im deeply involved
No friendship is the best way this can be solved

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
