The scars on your arms Form the box of my jail cell. I'm serving a pseudo-voluntary, Compulsory sentence for someone Else's hell. I guess I chose this fate Despite it being ****** in front of me. But the illusion of free will Is a broken façade of Immaturity. I suppose I do like you, But be with you? I don't know. Your unblamable desire for Love and affection is something I can't show. Because while your world may be Torture, mine isn't heaven either. With heart flutters, Stomach aches, And leaving class for breathers. The help that I can give, Is reaching its end. And whisperings Tell me to leave, From nefarious, bitter friends. Yet when I entertain departure, The only things that I'm left with are My thoughts in the shower, My tears joining the water, And I remember looking in the mirror Trying to figure out where I am.

From an ex's perspective on me.
