I'm learning to let you go.
I can feel the fibers of my being,
Unwrap from around you,
Snapping like strings,
Wound too tight.
I feel lighter,
"Need" and "affection"
Falling away like a discarded skin.
I want to reach out,
But you will only poison me.
Lies,
Promises.
Let's forget.
I'm becoming something new.
Colder heart, steel skin, clear eyes.
I must have my own core,
My own solid heart.
I feel the water at my feet,
The rock against my back,
Stars above me.
I cease to exist,
I will be a reflection of the sky.
I will be something that doesn't need you.
But you.
Will still.
Always be toxic.
And I want to breathe.
