"Whatever you want,"
That's what you said to me
But whatever I want
You won't let be
You feign indifference
to mask lonely insecurity
And feed this fire
when you taunt me
"Whatever you want,"
That's just another lie
But whatever I want
I can't let the desire die
I fake a calm
let anger and pain hide
No one hears my screaming
on this roller coaster ride
"Whatever you want,"
That really is the key
To breaking the chains
I've attached from you to me
And whatever I want
becomes something new
I want to be free
from the memory of you.
Been a long time since you have posted. Angry poem. This seems familiar to me.
ReplyDeleteThere you are! I responded to one of your comments from about a year ago about why there hadn't been a peep from me on my blog. Life is good but busy! These are still the poems I published in my book in 2005 so you've probably read this one somewhere before. I can't believe it's almost been 10yrs! I'll have to throw myself a book anniversary party. :)
