My eyes open and the pain begins.
You're standing there, across from me with hurt in your eyes. That makes me pity you, and you don't deserve my pity so I close my eyes to make you disappear. Why won't you disappear?
I'm suddenly aware of my feet.
I can walk away.
I can leave.
And I do.
And you don't stop me.
I feel the rope around my heart unravel and I can suddenly breathe again and I break out into a sprint. Euphoria fills my veins and I see an unknown world which awaits me. One without you in it.
