A Desperate Plea

Rating: 5.0


i remember speaking to You for hours in the dark.

Your voice enveloped me like smoke from the wreck You caused 9 months ago.

I love touching the yin and yang of Your skin.

Or is it Janus?

Am i falling in love with wolfgang?

I can't bear the way You make me ache.

Please, let me go.

i'm afraid i may Smart like Elizabeth.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is the first plea from someone who is going through abuse. She's conflicted about her feelings. She wants to be freed from something more horrific than the physical and emotional abuse she has endured: acceptance and affection.
