Love Poem: Control

Control

high on a mountain, in the desert breeze
nothing but rocks, critters that sneak
under the sun and relentless heat
I cast you out, far away from me

down, down I trek, careful where I step
down, down to the valley dripping with sweat
feelings of remorse, in loneliness creeps
when I get back home, you are waiting for me

it seems I can't rid this hold that you have
I think that it's gone, then it's back again
always within, it stays in my soul
what was it like...before you took control?
