Speak softly.

The louder you speak,

the worse it gets.

Your voice shaking harsher than my hands.

I can't see you through my blurred vision.

Panicked breathing.

you keep getting louder.

Your grip tightens around my shoulders,

I can't feel anything but the pressure.

Skin again skin.

Heart pounding against ribs.

One more thump until it rips through my chest.

Cracked, bruised and bleeding.

I am an open wound.

You are the salt that I keep pouring in.

I refuse to heal.

What would I do without you?

Without the pain that was never truly mine.

A body that was never truly mine.

Everything I own is yours.

That's what you always told me.

I have nothing left to give, you keep on taking anyway.

I hope this void that you created destroys you.

A black hole that swallows the world.

Everything that you claimed as yours.
