Lost So Long Ago

Love has me in it's grip holding on tight Bound by the chemical ties love's disguise How can I love one who manipulates Even the breath that I draw in my lungs Youth's energy could be blamed folly says Attraction to one who has to control Causes destrution of one's soul's being Release me let my soul heal, time to find The child, girl, woman, bride who was lost There at the altar the one that lost me But who tied me as an individual To someone who lacked understanding Help me find who was lost so long ago Help me find who was lost so long ago (Not me but a topic of one loosing their identity when they get married. Unconventional sonnet in that it does not rhyme.)

I guess I'd call it inadequacy. The bride couldn't control herself so she found the most controlling man that would dominate her. Then one day she wakes up and realizes she's in a better place and is ready to take over her life again, only to find the man hasn't gone anywhere and will very much not let her leave, at least not willingly. That's when she calls the police or a social worker.
