Manipulation Poem by Petra Soliman

Love me when I'm okay,
Leave me when I cry,
Let it be the way,
Till my heart aches no more,
And my tears dry to see no more,

Like a child hiding in your embrace,
How could I be safe,
When the daggers stabbing me,
All come from you,

How could I speak,
When your words chained my heart,
What could I say,
When your words shattered my soul,

I've given in to the manipulation,
I've failed my duties,
How could I be deserving life,
When I haven't been alive.
