Lost

by Starcross - Not entered

Please take me away from the madness of the cage i'm in.
For I can no longer breath gasping for air...dieing, from the feeling
of trying to reach the light that I know is there. Take me from this prison,
that some call love, for I only see despair.  A heart so cold I don't ,
 know if it's there.  Please I beg to be transformed from this,
hell, that some call a home.  Take me were I can be free,
where understanding and compassion does roam.

Just when I feel we have reached a new place the old overbearing,
husband returns, to take me and squeeze the last drop of blood
from this tired soul. I can't live in the cage any longer, I can't be without
passion and love, I won't live without support and understanding, for only that
is what i dream of.

For one day a time will come and all will be lost, and then he will see
the true woman he so carelessly gave away. My heart is deep and bursting
with love waiting for someone to turn the magic on that is hidden so deep inside.
Each day that passes my soul withers and dies killing the passion i once felt inside.

Oh to be loved for the woman I am...take me and feel my pulse for it beats the slow
rhythm of one who is lost in a sea of confussion...help me to understand what he needs
from me for i surly don't know.  Why does my love run so deep for one who only hurts,
and cuts my soul like a knife?  

I only dream of being loved, being respected, to be charished for that I will never know,
for the time has passed and can no longer be retrieved. My heart I know he will always own,
for that is a truth he will never know. So here I am at the crossroads of life, no longer a friend,
no longer a wife.

Reason for writing:

    I don't think anyone who has read this needs to know why. I only shared it because
I know there are many other women who feel the same. GOd blees you all!
