Today an old rival imprisoned me (Although I never really ever truly get free) He’s like an arranged marriage, with me for life, Except I had no choice in becoming his wife! Sometimes his attacks are gratefully short! (I had sensed his arrival and was able to abort) But usually he won’t relinquish the weapon he grips And those are the days I feel my sanity slips! For he commands a double-edged sword of pain, One side shreds my emotions, the other my brain! I’ve tried many ways to rid myself of him Yet, like an unending nightmare, he slips right back in! There are people I know who just do not see How his painfully sharp saber is torturing me!
