EuroHELP! 2018
He Took My Teardrops
The light is
out tonight
I can’t go out tonight
No way I can move off here
Wrists are
tight bound, I cannot move my arms.
Ankles as well, why did he make it tight?
I try to speak, but tape muffles my words
How can I escape…
He tied me up I
cannot move
What can I do to raise the roof and get help?
He took my teardrops
Made for me of
white gold and pearls,
He stole them and went into the night with me here!
He took my teardrops
So I turn and
face him now
As he heads out of the door
My jewellery in his black bag
I twist round,
and I still cannot move?
I scream for help, and nobody comes?
I put my head back, and shake in silent rage
And impotence
And now
He tied me up I cannot move
What can I do to raise the roof and get help?
He took my teardrops
Made for me of
white gold and pearls,
He stole them and went into the night with me here!
He took my teardrops
My precious
teardrops, my lovely teardrops
Trussed Like a Chicken
Flexing my long
fingers, feeling the cool air
Now I’m in real trouble, as I fail to find what I seek
Looking in the mirror, oh Lord is that me?
Eyes wide in terror, who can this person be?
If only my
husband had been home today
Then I know I would not be
Tied like a
chicken
Arms forced behind and secured with rope
Stuck fast, ropes around and between
And now I cannot move, and that’s not all
Because I’m
trussed like a chicken
And he left me here
My legs are
bent and tied, ankles to thighs
And the rope between my legs is tied to my wrists
And with the
scarf filling my mouth
And the silver tape round my head
My moans are silenced…
Tied like a
chicken
Arms forced behind and secured with rope
Stuck fast, ropes around and between
And now I cannot move, and that’s not all
I throw my head
back
I don’t want to but my body screams in time
Tied like a
chicken
Arms forced behind and secured with rope
Stuck fast, ropes around and between
And now I cannot move, and that’s not all
So yes I’m
trussed like a chicken
But why is it divine?
Heroes
Oh dear god,
who made this mess?
Papers thrown over the floor
Where’s my wife?
I can hear
someone talking
But it sounds funny and mumbled
Where is she?
I walk into the
kitchen
And hear those mumbled noises grow louder
There she is
Sitting by the table on a chair
Eyes wide over the scarf filling her mouth
I need to be
the hero of this time
But I’m fighting with the feelings in my mind
They tied her
tightly to the chair
Hllpmmm
But the ropes
kinda make her sexy
Hllpmmm
I need to be
the hero of the time
Hllpmmm
But the way she
struggles makes me feel so…
HLLPMMM
They tied her
legs to the front legs
The wood creaks as she moves them
As he calls to me
I walk over and
ease the scarf out
She takes a breath and whispers thank you
In appreciation
She told me
they came in that day
Tied her there, robbed us, then went away
Until I came home
I smile and
kiss her forehead
And then I kiss her lips
And ask if she wants freed
I need to be
the hero of this time
Thank you
But I’m fighting with the feelings in my mind
Thank you
I am the hero!
1974
My mother told
the story
She opened the door
They pushed in
With guns
Made her do what
They said
They tied her
wrists
Behind her back
Then pulled a thick scarf
Between her lips
Before they pushed her
Into the room
She was wearing
jeans and high boots
and a blouse over a sweater
They made her lie on the couch
And tied her ankles tight and straight
She had to
watch them
As they took her stuff
She had no choice
They were in charge
She struggled
and cried
Muffled screams
As they left her alone
She was scared
But she had no choice
in 1974
My father found
and freed her
And when the police had been
They made love that night
and a year later, I came
The Night So
Sweet
If one day
someone asks about me
Tell them I was left like this
Arms wide, tied to the bedstead
Wearing a silk nightie
My lips,
visible under the tape
I watch you bind my ankles, to the foot of the bed
And I wonder what you want of me
As I look into your deep blue eyes
My dear, make
me complete
Please take me now, I want your love
And I want it to be you, only you
The night so sweet will be complete
I see your
smile, your nod, your love
My trust in you complete
And as you slowly kiss me, move over me
My heart can love for the both of us
