Grasping for air! ! <br />Don’t hold me down, <br />You’ve covered my mouth... <br />Bound me still. <br />The curtain falls, <br />Climax of the play? <br />Not appealing… just ailing, <br />Not like the romance novels, <br />Or Shakespeare’s scripts, <br />Pressure me no longer, <br />My body, docile, <br />My lips are sealed, <br />Submissive only to survive, <br />Yes your secret is safe with me, <br />Tragically though… <br />You’ve have killed my soul.<br /><br />Melissa Coventry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-curtain-falls/
