what the hell
happened to
everything?
i locked myself
in this
beautiful
crystal clear
glass box
that was
you.
and i was living
happily.
we were living
happily.
i didn't take
what i didn't need
from you.
and you didn't take
what you didn't need
from me.
we
were in this
equilibrium.
life was good.
easy.
happy.
safe.
but now,
the box is filling
with smoke.
you are
SUFFOCATING
ME.
and i can't
get out.
i'm pounding
on the glass.
it won't crack.
i can't breathe.
you're watching me
DROWN.
with that disgusted
disappointed face.
i'm begging you
if you release me
i'll go.
i'll disappear.
i don't want to
but if you don't want
me.
then have mercy.
i'll walk away.
just please please please
help me breathe
or shatter the glass
before you're left
with another
broken
heart.
