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
