I’m just trying to find my safe place
but here you are everywhere I go
every time I breathe
every word you say
cutting me like a blade
I just want to be free
Free, from all this pain
everything you touch
you destroy
you destroyed me
The light I once was is consumed by darkness
I am suffocating
I no longer want to be consumed
The abuse is much more than I can bare
It disrupts my sleep
It disrupts my peace
I can’t breathe
I am gasping for air
what is love?
I know this isn’t it
I try and try
To let you go
You tell me you love me
My heart feels hope
My mind screams “NO!”
I’m torn
but your actions speak louder than word
You say “ I LOVE YOU”
They say YOU DON’T
yet I stick around in hopes your actions someday will match
But my mind is screaming “SAVE ME”
“I AM MISERABLE”
I wanted it to be
You
But I deserve better
and better starts with saying BYE!
