Slowly I Surrender Poem by Karen TeichCluster

Slowly I surrender and I lose my self control.
I'm heading for a heart-ache but there's no where else to go.
I've everything to lose and not a single thing to gain;
My destination seems to be a one way street of pain,

There's no use trying to fight it,
You don't play by any rules.
You shoot me down and helpless
I come beggin; like a fool.
Seems to me I oughta know by now
That you're just passing time,
And holding my heart hostage
Without hopes' a shameless crime.
