And Sill, You Want More Poem by Lindy Jean Kleinhans

By LJK

After taking all I had to give
After making a life for us to live
You want and want and want some more
I just cannot keep any score

You have taken my pride
And taken my name
You have made me a slave
And well played this game

You have taken my will
And taken my freedom
And changed my free spirit
to make me a prelim

You have taken my drive
and taken my passion
and turned them to something
that only you fashion

and still, you want more
and life gets so tough
for being your puppet
was never enough

and still, you want more
you'll drain that last bit
for all that you want
a bottomless pit

Awakened I must defend on my own
My empire once built and that once called home
A beggar, a martyr- I becometh again
With you, once again, my soul suck and drain

True colors turn up into the end
The only reason they kept you, was so they could spend
Your future, your passion, your soul they have ate
And wanting for more at the marital gate.
