The Shadowless Lover Poem by Shaniqua McCrae

The shadowless lover
Who finds pleasure in the pain of their significant other
With a kiss of the lips you taste death
Their grasp unbearable trying to catch your breath
The love taps seem harder than the rest
The beatings from insecurities the struggle the stress
The test of faith that confines you in this institute
This everlasting domestic dispute
Your attempts to leave are whole hearted
The love taps get harder
In love with fear itself
Lacking of mental and physical health
Forced on your actions no matter how you felt
In a lose lose situation from this hand you were dealt
while your lover walks the halls leaving no trace
Desperatley hating to see you with a smile on your face
Yet you stay with this disgrace sinister menace to society
No respect no heart and no propriety
Sleeping with both eyes open in her arms
Loving this person who only does you harm
the darkness hurts and the swelling makes it hard to see
The day that you will stop being afraid
And finally be free.
