You say you love me,  So why do you hurt me? You isolate me.  You say it's for my safety, But what is it keeping me safe from? My friends, My family? You scream at me.  Spit flying from your mouth, As you cry obscenities at me, For breaking rules that don't exist.  You say you love me, That we are equals, You are mine as I am yours.  But you still push for more, I beg you to stop.  But I am alone,  And not enough to stop you.  Not when you want something.  I bow my head, You have won; This game of cat and mouse.  You are King, And I your loyal subject.  But even loyal of subjects; Can become discontented.
