We started out great and all seemed fine <br />we chatted, we laughed, talked for hours over a glass of wine <br />My days would be lonely when you were not there <br />But then I started to notice that look when you stare <br /> <br />It scared a little, not too much to bear <br />I reassured myself that all you do is care <br /> <br />Now I am scared, im fearing for my life <br />the pain you inflict on me, is worse than a knife <br /> <br />No marks, bruises or even droplets of blood <br />just tears and more tears, my own burning flood <br /> <br />My wings you have taken, first plucking them clear <br />then breaking each bit day by day, installing more fear <br /> <br />My wings are now hanging <br />facing down at the ground <br />too hurt and ashamed <br />too scared to be found <br /> <br />Lock me up and please let me die <br />There aren't any more tears for me to cry <br /> <br />Battered, beaten broken and sore <br />my wings are broken <br />and they fly no more<br /><br />Debbie Steyn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/broken-wings-won-t-fly/
