I know how this story ends, I've been here before, all too well. I love, you tear apart. I forgive, you take control. A chain we never take off. I held it close, grasping. You pushed it, it snapped. I’m collecting every piece until it’s full— but it never is. I shake my shackles. You tell me to be quiet. When it’s just us— why am I too loud? Every step, every drop, you're there to catch. It’s not your fault. Your hands were never made for something so fragile. I scream silently, your eyes avoiding me. What did I ever do to drown in both your presence and absence? I hate it here. All my flaws, all your mistakes, shattering my soul, stealing all my hope. My hands could slip free, yet I refuse to take them off. I stare at them, grieving. Where would I go, if not with you? We’re both trapped in here.
