I share my scars
I share my fears
my most deep dark confessions
of the person drowning in tears

He’s a slave
to the pain that he suffers from before
with the damage endured
& the aftermath that’ll last forevermore

It’s more than a struggle
it’s more than a war
it’s like putting the shattered pieces
to an already broken puzzle

I’ve been at war with him for the longest
proving that I’m the strongest
but he’s got this hold on me
that continues to drag me thru his darkest
thoughts & I can’t find my escape
so I deal with the defeat as I find more things about me to hate
