Obsession followed by jealousy and possession,
masked as love
Manipulation and deceit
Lying through your Goddamn teeth
Hateful words and aggression followed by violent outbursts, and
the sound of your fist going through the wall
Always rationalizing your bad behavior
or blaming me
Isolation and Oppression
Prodding and stalking, prodding and stalking
Control,
You stole
my life away
But I settled for
Walking on eggshells so as not to disturb
Hiding my views so as not to provoke
Trying to fit into your perfect mold
I thought our shapes would tessellate, but I was blinded by the misconception of your alleged love for me
