Used

I lay here lifeless
Broken on the floor
Until you come to me
Handling my veins
Like marionette strings

Wrench me this way
And thrust me that
A tear of blood stains my cheek
Why must you be so cruel?
Maintaining me just within your grasp

Dancing around
In a fashion less than graceful
I open my mouth to scream
So soon as a sob flees my lips
Your hand seizes my throat

Straining for oxygen
I scratch and claw
In hopes of prolonging my life
I gain success
You heave me against the wall

Gasping for air
I steal the opportunity
To escape through the open door
Slamming it behind me
Bolting it shut forever

I drop to my knees crying
Sweet tears of freedom
Plummet to my wounds
Leaving mental scars
Erasing every loving memory of you
Unbinding me from prison I constructed
