Survivor


Grasped hands

Pleading in tears

Harsh words

Slamming things

Begging

Yelling

Constant messages

Hurtful words

Sweet words

Suicidal words

Give me another try

You’re fucking stupid

I miss you and I can’t be without you

You never loved me

It will always be you

If you don’t call me back I’m going to kill myself

I escaped

I read the messages

I responded

I shouldn’t have

It made it worse

I ignored

I shouldn’t have

It made it worse

I blocked on all fronts

I should have

It made it better

I escaped

It was hard

It was painful

It was terrifying

But

I escaped

And I’m free
