Seeing your name

In my notifications

Used to give me butterflies

And happiness -

Yet now all I feel

Is nausea.

I used to wake up

To cute little

"Good morning, baby." messages

And hearts -

Yet now I'm lucky

If my phone even goes off.

I used to feel safe

Knowing that somebody

Was on my side

And protective -

Yet now I'm back

To running from everything.

You used to give me hope

That the world

Wasn't so bad

And frightening -

Yet now you're

Turning against me.

I used to think

You were my true

Twin flame both platonically

And romantically -

Yet now all I feel around you

Is sorrow.
