The diary of a victim


I don't remember when there wasn't you You to torture and twist I don't remember when I felt safe or loved All the normal things in life feel wrong now Joy And Ease You see I have a man that loves me Not quite like you loved The real kind The kind they write books about And I keep trying to leave Because. Of. You. You entangled yourself so deeply in me I cannot move I cannot breathe without you. You broke me. Took pieces I didn't even know were there. I threw away the things Deleted the pictures and the voicemails And yet still you Can anybody show me how to erase you? I'm still learning how to be me Without... You.
