Trapped Poem by Naa Takia

I have no friend dear diary
You remain my only companion
Tales of my tragedy, you carefully conceal
A most loyal comrade, heed these words
My great book, tis me and my teary voice
He was my Anthony and I his Cleopatra
Our love smoked higher above Apollo and Aphrodite's
We were twined together
Like seaweeds, hidden among rocks ashore
Now our combat is nonstop
And only my mirror sees my bruises
My chamber remains my foursquare
Tending my wounds till my skin regains its lustre
The only unhealing wound? My heart of hearts
I cling to that thin thread of hope beating myself with guilt
Thinking he will return should I become a better person
That person I brought to life just to face disappointment
He charged fiercer
Battered me from dusk to dawn
And 'sexed' away my pain
For that brief moment my shell is cracked
I remain broken; I see shame
In my quest to fight back
I'm met by the fiery in his eyes
Knocking me down each time
With pride aside I've found my voice
If thee find yourself in another's clutches
Carry on this message
I'm tired, I'm simply exhausted
And in need of help…
