Just Love

He tortured himself with the lies that filled his head.

For he could not lose her, so he tied her to the bed.

She was not to whisper, cry, or yell.

For he would make her life a living hell.

It just was not good enough.

So as he held her down,

He threaded her mouth shut,

So she could never make a sound.

No one would ever know,

How he tortured her mind.

No one would know,

How he forced her to confine.

For he loved her so much

That it hurts,

That’s what he said.

Claiming it is just love,

Then he strangled her...

to death.
