Spitting out violently
her words {like chains}
Surrounded me.
Strangled me.
asphyxiation
to the point of death
Swimming around me
my life {almost gone}
Winking at me and laughing
were the stars.
They considered it an inside joke.
Pouring out {sorrowfully and suddenly}
her tears tried to hug me.
Every single inch she tries to make
toward me puts
another ******* mile
between us.
{why try anymore?}
The stars
have disappeared
and left me {like everyone else}
"This is what you wanted."
{"you deserve this"}
I'm starting to believe them.
I cannot remember what the stars look like
{anymore}
