Haunting me, she waits--
behind the lies, underneath
secrets untold; yet
suffocating from within,
dying to be free from me.

ou eternal battle to free ourselves from self -
The thought of feeling a part of you wanting to break free can drain a perosn. It can destroy a person, I really like this poem. The power in the words cry out loud. I have never heard of this form, but like the last one I saw you had done in another form great work with it. SH
