They say
when you see a bear
you're supposed to
stay utterly still
no movement
when you kept pulling me in
only to push me away
I found myself trying not to move
not breathing too loud
not speaking too much
keeping my mouth shut
making my movements slow
not wanting to sway your mind
in the wrong direction
I tried so hard to be still
but that didn't stop you from
digging your claws in
ripping my heart
body
and soul
to ashes
