HER

A poem about feeling stuck with someone who hurts you but you cant leave

HER

I'm holding my breath
I'm biting my tongue
I'm biding my time till this all is done
I want to cut the rope
Cut throat
That's what they always say
But I don't want to live with this or her another day
I question whether or not they have ever felt this way
Here I sit holding my breath and biting my tongue
Hoping to gods that soon this all will be done
I'm holding my breath and biting my tongue
I took the bait
Hook and sinker
Now im wrapped in this long line
And all her lies
She's walking over boundaries like state lines
And tears streak down my face like rainy streams
Quiet and quivering
Knowing and ignored
Shaking and quaking
Running and rippling
Small and weak
I wish I could run the way the rain does
Down the street and away
Dribbling into crevises and despercing
Instead I sit here
Still holding my breath and still biting by tongue
Looking out the window, watching the rain
Biding my time till the days of her are all over and done
