I think I'm choking

August 15, 2015

I need permission to let you be happy

honestly I feel like I have to grieve

I already told you I'm selfish like that

and you told me I was safe with you

so for years I believed I was

I need to remember that somehow I still am

but I am ruined knowing that, though I may be safe with you,

you are not required to be

safe

with

me.
