We were toxic for each other.
We should have left so much sooner.
But we were too afraid to leave the comfort of our familiarity.
We were best friends.
Lovers.
But I was overly controlling.
And you were mentally abusive.
Your lack of emotion made you stronger.
You managed to leave me.
I spiralled and so did you.
You held me captive to you.
There was no love left in you.
Yet I had to stay.
