Release me from your grip
On my spine
Where my bones are
Wavering under your strength
Your pressure
And trembling
From fear of being crushed.
On my shoulders
Where your hands have created
Sagging valleys
Filled with exhaustion
From the weight
You made them bare.
On my throat
Where a gasp escapes
From the despair-filled dwellings
Of my being.
Where your hands- enclosed
Force my last ragged breaths
And my hope
That drains.
Great imagery created! I could feel it….it touched.
Great work done. Specially that, “On my throat
Where a gasp escapes
From the despair-filled dwellings….”
Felt like it was me…wow! You rock!
Wow, thank you! That’s such a great compliment :] I’m glad you enjoyed it!
It was a pleasure reading it….you touched a chord with the real world…great work done!

i lived these sensations so your descriptions take on great meaning that is striking and painful to remember.
I’m glad it was relatable to you. I find things that you can relate to personally to be very refreshing :] It’s difficult to go through experiences such as these, but they always make us stronger :]
Thank you for your comment.
