I didn’t know he’d go all crazy

My own boyfriend

Dragging me

Down

Down

Down

Into his cold basement

Letting my head hit the stairs

My hands are tied

Binded by the rough rope,

Rope

Rope

Rope

He tells me I am his.

But I am not

I will not let him have me

But I can make him think

Think that I am his

Think that I have fallen in love

But how can I?

My mouth has a sock in it

I cannot speak

I cannot move

He walks down the stairs

Tells me that he loves me

But how could he love me

He hurt me

He takes the gag out

So I can eat

But I cannot eat

I wouldn’t be able to keep it down

Months go by with more progress,

He lets me watch tv

Sitting on his lap

And play on his phone,

The news has stopped talking about me

Missing woman

Probably never to be found again

The thought scares me

How can it not?

He thinks I am in love,

He cut my hair a dyed it black

My beautiful natural blonde gone

Down the drain

He takes me out

Out

Out

Out

Yes I am out,

Outside

In the light

It’s blinding

After months of darkness

He’s taking me to park,

dragging me along,

How can I make someone see me

Pay attention to me

Call the police

We walk around the park for hours

He whispered in my ear

“See no one cares that your gone,

I am your only love”

He has to go pee

Let’s me wait outside

As soon as he is gone I run up to a woman

“Please help I’ve been kidnapped,”

She calls the police but I go back to my spot

Can’t let him see

Can’t let him know

Sirens

Sirens

Sirens

Off in the distance

Sirens

Sirens

Sirens

Getting closer

Closer as we walk

He grabs my waist

Pinning me to his body

I watch as the run up to him

I finally free myself from his grasp

The handcuffs look painful

As they duck his head into the car

He loved me

But I didn’t love him

Love is a lie that keeps us alive
