Bullet Proof

Listen to poem:

So, do you tell all your friends that you have loves gun to my head? My legs work just fine it's easy to get up and walk away from this bed Love is not a chain welded for your misuse My heart's not an anvil for your hammer to forge my abuse For all the depth and warmth to you that my eyes did show You are about to find out how deeply low my heart's A/C can go

i find this a very intriguing short free verse - i like the way that questioning opening line pulls the reader right into the poem.:)

I am very flattered by the praise! It was my whole intention that this piece cause discomfort. While still giving a sense of empowerment to those who are in difficult situations. Warmly A.S.
