Prisoner Poem by Marcquiese Burrell

despite the circumstances in life, of all the things, I regret the day I met you
If only I knew
of the absence of love in your heart
I'd soon find myself in an empty place
and time didn't bring me relief
Unexpectedly, I stayed and knew, i wouldn't be safe
I locked away apart of myself
as if a treasure filled with riches and wealth
you were unworthy of my love and affection
you act as though my freedom was forbidden
because day and night, I felt as if pressure was applied to my passage to breath, and at anytime, I would suffocate
Still I never harbored resentment towards you
I showed you kindness and
your fears would soon develope and generate hate
which you'd direct towards me
Forgiven you, I shouldn't have at all
and you'd cheat, showed no signs of your indiscretions
Only god knew of our direction
I would no longer be accepting
being the prisoner anymore
