A new world surrounds me,

Walls towering above my head,

Smothered until I can’t breathe.

Taking a kiss, I didn’t want to give

It’s all gone too far.

The end should have been long ago,

When I was lying in the dirt.

Afraid to take another step,

Forcing you from my mind.

Time will slowly heal,

But ‘till then I shall hide,

Careful to cover every bruise,

I’ve been given the strength,

To tell you it’s through.

I don’t owe you anything,

It was my decision to make,

Not your choice to take.

A weight has been dropped on my shoulders,

The words I can’t say,

The ones I can’t even think.

As each day goes by,

I grow more and more exhausted,

With the burden ever growing.
