A Love Story-Part 2

Before I had the chance
To release myself from you
Move on
And allow my wounds to heal
You added another one
So many holes in my soul
From where your sharp
Painful
Words have stabbed me
One could expect my emotions to just flow out
But
You robbed me of the chance
Just as you robbed me of everything else
My happiness
My love
My lust
My peace
My joy
My sanity
And I was about to take it all back
But
You never gave me the chance
Before I had the chance
To freely love myself
I was caught in your prison
Of emotional pain
Handcuffed to your verbal abuse
Before I had the chance
To say how I felt
I looked up
And you were gone
