No One Else


No One Else 

"No one else is going to treat you like I do." 

"No one else is going to want you like I want you." 

"No one else is going to love you like I love you."

"No one else." 

When you say these words to me they sink in my mind like venom. 

That I had no idea it was poison until it's too deep into my system to notice that I

am suffocating. 

I believe you. 

No one else is going to treat me like you.

No one else is going to want me like you. 

No one else is going to love me like you. 

No one else. 

Because I am just now realizing that you do it horribly. 

It took me until now to notice the scars that you left. not just on my skin but in

my life. 

You're the snake and I am the mouse. 

You wrap your self around my body barely close enough where I can still get away

if I want. 

But I don't, cause I don't see the danger yet. 

You slowly get closer and closer as my body becomes tighter and tighter harder

and harder to breathe until

it's too late. 

So, yes you're right. 

No one else treats me as badly as you do 

No one else will want me as demented as you do. 

No one else will love me as sickly as you do. 

No one else. 

I am the mouse.

And I am free.
