Control Me Poem by THEODORE MOSLEY

You said that you loved me and would do anything for me in life.

I gave you my love without dissimulation and without controversy.

When life threatened you with chaos I gave you my undivided attention.

My love for you withstood the tears of anxiety that left me blind.

The truth of my life gave way to the lies of your tongue that burned me within.

Your hallucinations of cherishing me told the story of fear and regret.

With each step of my dreams I became your taskmaster of my identity.

Given you my being, my love was like a waterfall cascading to nowhere.

Under the scrutiny of love derailed I became a docile woman of distinction.

My body was for your pleasures as the night found me in brokenness.

Chained in my heart of compassions my words were erased in your memories.

Your documentation of my kisses left me in the wilderness of bitterness.

Sad and lonely within the eyes of your love I saw dangerous times of love.

My soul became dark and confused; where is the jewel that sparkled in my eyes.

Your love is my penitentiary; your life is my tomb; you control me with your conditional love.
