There's this weight on my chest
And it has nothing to do with how much I weigh

The air is caught in my lungs
And there's a pain like no other
My head hurts from all the pressure

And no medicine can cure it
I don't know how to make it go away

I just want one free breath.

For years
I thought your emotional abuse was love

I deluded myself for so long

And even now I wish that some part of that pain was love.

Passion and bliss

Is all that I miss

Not the sparkle in your eyes




why do I tell such lies?

I try swimming away from your current

But you always pull me in

Swift and all consuming

You devour all of me.

The water in your well is all my toxic love for you

The other well is clean hydrating water

And while I need to stay hydrated

Something about that toxic water

Is just so addictive.
