He presses his lips against my ear, whispering sweet things to me, and I shiver as I slip my hand into his. Naive and young, I walk with him, down the easy, cement path. We come to a fork in the road, and I turn to go left, but he... he turns to go right... 1
So I follow him, yet he changes his mind and ignores me. I call out to him, crying his name, wishing for him to give me a chance as I tug at his arm. He pushes me into a puddle of mud, soaking my clothes. I hug my knees to my chest as tears drip down my cheeks.2
I get up, trying to be tough about it, and I clean myself off before anyone can see what he's done to me, how he's ruined me, and how he's still there, tearing at my soul, forcing me to long for him...3
I watch him from afar as he makes everyone else happy. He gives those ugly men what they want... he pleasures those overweight women, but he continues to ignore me... I cry at night, wishing he'd give me a chance, just so I could feel his warm breath, his comforting arms around me that lull me to sleep at night... 4
Finally, he comes to my door, telling me I can have another chance. I slam the door in his face, and I sink to the floor, the desperation inside of me increasing. I refuse to give him another chance. I refuse to give up my freedom, just for a little piece of shelter that will only last for a short period of time... 5
And here I sit, still to this day, afraid of him, afraid of the lonely nights he brings me, terrified of his loving hold on me, and worried that if I go to him, he will hurt me and bruise me and trash me. Yet at the same time, I long to feel his touch once me. But we never last long. While he goes up, I go down, while he goes right, I go left, when he says "yes" I say "no". It's a game... between... Love and I...6

I totaly understand this feeling.. i think "he" can be referred to as "love" itself instead of a particular person.. love does do this shit to u lol it sucks actually but u know its great when its good.. but yeah i love this.. its great.. :-D I LOVE U

This is really good. Poetic, yet a story that all can relate to, sometime or another. Rather brilliant in itself. For every person I suppose it could have a different meaning. I think if love is rough you should tempt it with chocolate and knock it out so it doesn't get away... (Smiles) Just kidding, but this was a very good story.

Wow...this is absolutely amazing. It's beautiful and your emotion seeps through so much that I get it straight and direct. You're an amazing writer from what I can see. This is a wonderful write about heartbreak, and you portray it so well with words. It's amazing, once again.

This is very interesting and insightful... it flows with emotion and details an unique point of view. I also like the way it's written from your perspective. Thanks for sharing!

I get it. and I like it very much. 'If love be rough with you be rough with love'...(that's a paraphrase from Romeo and Juliet- Shakespeare-I think) that is what your writing brought to my mind. Thanks

Ohhh...how heartbreaking. I remember how I used to feel when I'd play tug-of-war with love. If you want my opinion, honey...you're young, you still have plenty of options...leave him-physically and emotionally. Much love to you and yours,
Nicole
