In Your Possession Poem by Kimberly Bellamy

You can hit me once, hit me twice
spit in my face and not be so nice
But what can I do? I belong to you.
I am in your possession you say
and that anything you say I have to do
I say I can take what you give me
because I am madly in love with you.
My tears I release are not caused by your cruelty
The bruises on my arms are not caused by your strong hands
I tell that to people so you wouldn't hate me
Let's face it, how can I tell on my own man?
You are the only thing that is good in my life.
How can I let you go?
I'm not going to let a couple of beatings ruin what we have
I will do what ever you tell me to. I can never tell you 'no.'
So what if my eyes are bruised. I am sure it will heal
When I first came into your life I always said
No matter what happens, I can deal.
I don't mind being a victim of yours
because I know you're doing it out of love
I remember every day you would treat me like a princess...
and shower me with you kisses and hugs.
It's still there.
I will have to find it for i know they still exist somewhere.
I became your posession when we married.
I became your property when we kissed for the first time
and even after that kiss, I couldn't seem to get you out of my mind.
I belong to you.
You are my only purpose. I can't do any better.
I can settle for a kick in the stomach or a potential rape.
I'll settle for whatever.
I am a vulnerable girl who has someone who loves me for me
Is it so bad that I give up who I am for this man and no longer be free?
