Underserved

Imposed love of debt
Seeking soulful releases 
Empowering self through lies
Abusive ways masked in gifts
While wounds are healed 
So eyes no longer see
Internally embedded as deserved
Becoming self inflicted 
Thoughts taught to believe
Brought upon self 
Undeserved of a better love 
He holds the Key 
Of a torture-some beat
Held in his hands 
Squeezed of blood flow
Restricting all vessels 
In a vegetative state 
Oxygen gone
