Author’s Note – Written from the p.o.v. of an original character created by myself & darthelwig named Huck. He was abused as a child, & ‘wrote’ this (through me, GhostHelwig) to a certain man... Rated R for sexual connotations of the slash variety...

To anyone who cares, the ‘he’ in this story is his lover, Pol...

What I Owe

by Huck Helwig

_*_*_*_*_*_*_

I used to give in to you

Without even thinking what I did through

Because I was conditioned to believe

To take it all and never leave

To be around for you to put me down

Until someone came and picked me off the ground

***

The chain around my throat broke

Every time he spoke

***

I used to think everything you did was fine

Even when you threw out everything of mine

Even when you opened my mouth just to spit down my throat

I still thought it was okay for you to gloat

Because my worth is something I could never see

Until the day he came and showed the world to me

***

The rope around my throat is severed

Now and forever

***

I used to listen to you spout your rot

I was a good boy, just like I was taught

And when you’d shove it down my throat

I’d smile and swallow and try not to choke

And this was my life and this was your sin

And you’ll never take me back again

***

For the noose around my throat is gone

Thanks to him

I’m moving on
