Because I knew

Because I knew

Your plan
to bury me under the mud,
chop my flesh
tear my bones
trash my soul

Because I knew
your plan
to deceive me
to drag me down

I stayed away,
far away,
where you captured me
anyway

I see now why the castle, somehow you did escape or you would not be free to write. May healing come swiftly to free you internally from the memories.

Thanks for your comment. Yes I manages to escape and writing makes me free.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
