Sovereignty

By A.M.Morais

I’m not your prisoner any longer

Your unforgiving grip around my throat

No longer steals the oxygen from my brain

Your silky smooth talking blindfold

No longer pins me down to your wishes

Your razor sharp serpent tongue

No longer shreds my soul to pieces

Your energy siphoning dark aura

No longer fills the air surrounding me

Your stench of stale cigarettes and cheap beer

No long infiltrates my prefrontal cortex

Your power controls me no more

I am free from the dungeon of our relationship

And you are locked up in a cell of past memories
