feelings that wouldn't leave
trapping me
destroying my last shred
of sanity
people leaving
constantly going
without me
all of this misery
sadness burning in my stomach like wine
couldn't release my grip
couldn't let go
even though my hands are bleeding
i hold on even more
i'm tired of the chains around my feet
fingers tightly wrapped around my neck
i need freedom,
escape,
to breathe,
i need you here with me.
