He used to be like breathing.

Inhale. Exhale. Repeat.

It was natural and rhythmic; cyclic.

He used to feel like home.

Exhale. Exhale. Exhale.

Casually the words crept in like a cancer,

Spreading to every fiber of my body.

Worthless. Useless.

Limitless were the thoughts,

Endless the echoes.

Inside of his wasteland,

Beneath the whiskey and cigarettes,

I fear there’s only hatred.

Love me?

Why? How could you?

Blue eyes, white lies,

Coping mechanisms.

He’ll never hurt me,

But he’ll never heal me.

Not the way I need him to.
