My boundaries never mattered to you
they were just lines in the sand
impermanent and easy to ruin
just step over it and never realize
the trust I gave you
shattering by your hands

I gave you everything
heart
soul
mind
time
love

And you took it for granted
treated me like a toy
a puppet for your whims
nothing more than yours
yours, yours, yours, yours, yours
always
there was no escaping

It felt like drowning
suffocating
choking
dying

I think I forgot how to breathe
when I was with you
I thought I was dying
every time I opened my eyes
and you were still there
I started to wish
it was just a nightmare
so I could wake up

but that would mean I was asleep
and there was no rest
no break
no escape
and even now
I'm not sure you're really gone
