You break my will and you don’t even know
When I tell you this you say it is not so.
You never recall the things you said or did
Sadly I do but they are safe, in a box with a strong lid.
Many and ugly are the mental scars I have carried
Like a cat with a mouse my feelings you harried .
Times have been when I have shaken like a leaf
You have stolen what is me . I want my self worth back you thief!
If we were having coffee , every Sunday
Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.

The upswing ending, ‘give it back’, tells the tale of strength and purpose, Willow. mental cruelty is a cowards tool. One could wish they felt the sting of it themselves. Good and powerful read my friend. hugs aplenty, always xPenx
Jun 19, 2013 @ 17:28:35
Yes Pen controlling bullies are the worst but stand up to them and they often crumble! Hugs eternal.xxxxx

I want people to feel, to empathize these are situations I have lived through , in the past gone but not quite forgotten. Thank you for your kind words!

Does it have personal meaning…I know this is a daft question.
Some type for the sake of typing..

I never type for the sake of typing, I never say anything I do not believe or mean 100%. I have been in the place the poem talks of other wise I would not of written it. 🙂 I have lived Shaun sometimes it has been awful sometimes it has been better! 😉
Jun 19, 2013 @ 17:22:54
I guessed so Willow. But I thought I would ask. And yeah, you have lived. I am a great believer in “We all have a story to tell”
Just asking and thanks for being cool about it 🙂

Beautifully written Willow. It has to be one of the most frustrating experiences we can go through and then.. when there is a denial that it is even happening and our feelings are ‘crazy’ or ‘paranoid’.. *growls*
Jun 19, 2013 @ 21:15:35
Yes but I know from experience that very rarely are we wrong or going mad … we need to snap back! Thank you for reading!xxxxx

Oh I loved him so!! My goodness, I had every single one of his albums, and had my mother up in arms about my ‘music selection’ at the age of 14.
*blank stares*… lol

“When I tell you this you say it is not so.
You never recall the things you said or did” — Makes one wonder if it is on purpose to make us feel as if we are the ones who are paranoid or projecting or delusional or if that casual and not so casual cruelty is/was so unimportant to them that we are petty mean spirited beings to even notice and are supposed to view ourselves as vengeful and malice filled to remember at all. Sigh. Oh well. It is not true. To have loved is not itself a personal flaw. In order to remember the best of love we are also aware of the heartbreak too.
Jun 19, 2013 @ 22:16:20
You are spot on, especially when you say they dismiss us as petty and mean minded to remember, they even need to control our memories. They are so convinced of how right and perfect they are. As far as they are concerned they are perfect and we are just nasty and selfish. But they are wrong. I am so pleased that you understand so well what I am saying. Thanks. Xx
Jun 19, 2013 @ 23:16:54
You said it so beautifully, how could I not understand. — Here is a quote from DearHusband when he made a GREAT effort to be understanding and thoughtful: “What are you going on about now?” . —- Hahahaha

Men, you got to love them…. Seriously someone has to!
