July 21st, 1992 7:50 p.m. poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


"Trapped"

I was like a wild animal
Ecstatic as a beast
Happy as hell
And I was glad I fell
		in love with you.

You fed me expectations
full to bursting
An empty vessel
And now I westle
		with my feelings.

Did you care for me once
Are you capable of caring for me?
I feel trapped in your life
And my life drowned.

I fool myself for your love
But it's seldom given
You complain about everything
But if I voice my feelings
I'm a crybaby

I used to think you were perfect
And I was wrong
Now I feel trapped
And maybe I should beg you
to let me go.

I never knew love was like this.
