I love you. I want nothing but the best for you. You love me But you just don't want to be hurt by me; Your passive aggressive threats, Your unwarranted mistrust of me, The constent questions, the tests. Love is supossed to fly and be free, But all I feel is loves firm grip on my throat its talons digging in to my very soul, Bleeding me of my empathy. Am I in this love to fulfill a role? Is this now my reality? I'm cracking under the pressure My psyche beaten and bruised by your ups and downs. You say "this is a love that's forever" I smile at you but this smile hides a frown I love you but it feels like it needs an -e and a -d because I don't want the love you give me

A suffocating love
I love you. I want nothing but the best for you. You love me But you just don't want to be hurt by me; Your passive aggressive threats, Your unwarranted mistrust of me, The constent questions, the tests. Love is supossed to fly and be free, But all I feel is loves firm grip on my throat its talons digging in to my very soul, Bleeding me of my empathy. Am I in this love to fulfill a role? Is this now my reality? I'm cracking under the pressure My psyche beaten and bruised by your ups and downs. You say "this is a love that's forever" I smile at you but this smile hides a frown I love you but it feels like it needs an -e and a -d because I don't want the love you give me
