Power

This power he has is scaring me,
I love him so,
But he admits to being in control,
I don't know what to do.

I tell him that I love him,
That I will follow him
He asks me how do I know if it's true love,
He asks if it is possible that he is manipulating?

He says he loves me,
It is shown to me every time we talk,
Every time that he says it,
Every time he holds me when I cry.

He admits to having control,
I am reminded that I would do anything,
That I have given myself completely to him,
I feel like it's too late.

It's too late to turn back now,
I have said yes to him,
He's paid for my ticket to move,
His family knows we are getting married.

Our families know,
Our friends know,
They will not understand if we are no longer together,
But I long to be free.

I want to be away from his control,
I want to be me...
But I love him,
And I cannot leave him.


No matter how much it hurts
To stay.
