Why do you do this?
Twist my choices until they vanish,
your words, soft but cruel, carving into my flesh,
each one deeper, more suffocating than the last.
You blackmail me with your pain,
threats hanging like nooses,
slowly tightening around my neck.
You said you’d end everything,
if I didn’t surrender to your darkness.
Do you even see me,
not as your shattered reflection,
but as someone slowly being erased,
drowning in a life I can’t escape?
I know you're sinking,
but why drag me down with you,
burying me beneath your weight?
I need you to hear me—
to release me before I’m lost entirely,
because if you can’t,
I’ll break, and you’ll have killed me too.
