Tortured love

The thorns of love
She shared with him
Pierced her skin deep
Inflamed the heart
And infected the soul
Grew like a virus
Taking hold of her
Drawing her down
It felt like torture.
That's what he did
I am not sure that he cared
For he never laid his heart bare
He protected it behind
Control and manipulation
That he used on her
And though he could see
The damaged he caused
He still kept on breaking
Her into pieces bit by bit each day
Because the feeling of power he got
Boosted his ego in so many ways.
This is not love this is torture
This is not love it's just wrong
She needs to break away
And remove all the thorns
Then leave him on his own to play
With his own little mind games
Because no one deserves to be treated this way.
