Woah
She woke up
To find that
Everything that kept her sane
And all the things she knew best
Were never real.
Were they all in her dream?
Did you take them when you pulled her apart?
She used to wake up with you by her side
She can still feel your light kisses
Making their way up her fragile body
Those familiar marks
Made her feel powerful
Til you threw them
Into an abyss of oh too familiar darkness
Every breath that enters my body
Is poisonous
Not poisonous by it’s meaning
But poisonous at the touch
I react poorly
to the slightest bit of movement
I used to be so content
With this thing we call love
Until it turned to bruises and cries
Until it turned into hate
That you elected to call love
So no more do i feel love
No more do i know love
Because you chose to hurt me
Over and over again
Until i had no more tears to cry
And no more strength to yell back
You taught me wrong
Because love is a beautiful thing
That i can no longer know
