Why does time move so slowly?
So painfully?
I'm moving in slow motion
Thinking in fast forward
Tripping over the obvious
I'm swimming in an ocean
Lost out at sea
A sea of purple water
And green skies
And there's no one here with me
Just miles of abyss
And I'm swimming so slowly
Tip toes and quiet steps
Barely moving through the dark
I see light, but then it goes
Like a flickering flame
The sun doesn't shine on me
I don't think it ever has
A crowd of empty faces
Moves past; surreal
No one to talk to
I cry out to deaf ears
Or perhaps my mouth is bound
I seek comfort in danger
With tearful eyes and hands that shake
I seek real ease of scarle
You always made me cry
I could never fight you
You were too strong
Why did you do this?
Did you enjoy it?
Controlling me completely
I could hardly breathe
Did it really not bother you?
Did you think you were privileged?
I believed your lies
I believed you loved me
I was wrong
You're in my nightmares
I relive the pain
I relive your touch
Get out of my head
You've hurt me enough
Keep your filthy fingers off me
Get your lips away from me
I won't let you do this again
You won't get close enough
I saw through your lies
And braved a thousand storms
To distance myself from you
It was worth it
I don't have to fear you now
Your abuse is behind me
I used to be depressed
But now that I’m not
I actually see the good in it
It’s shaped me
Molded me
Turned me into the person I am today
It’s filled me with a sympathy
That no one else understands
I see how important
A simple smile
A few kind and encouraging words
Can be
It can save a life
Maybe it’s all me
That would make more sense
You always care
Do nothing wrong
And this is what you get
I ignore you
I hurt you
You can admit it
For I know it’s true
I can see it in your eyes
You’re wondering what happened
What happened to the good old days?
I don’t mean to do this
I don’t know where my life is
Sorting things out
Things I don’t even understand
I’m trying to be better
To treat you how you deserve
But my head gets too caught up
I’m sorry
You’re only trying to show me you care
I can see that
This is more difficult than I thought
My emotions change rapidly
I can’t grasp w
This has to stop
I said "No"
Yet you persist
You always persist
I can't take this anymore
It's time to be strong
Time for me to step up
This needs to be said
Or this isn't going to work
I don't like it when this happens
All I want's your respect
This isn't respect
This is using me
This can't go on
I just can't take it
It's hurting me
Why can't you accept?
This isn't right!
It's not supposed to feel this way
I'm not supposed to be scared!
And yet you keep doing this
How many times must I say "No"?
I'm just not that into it
Never really been into it
This is making me dread seeing you
And I hate myself for that
You said you'd always be there for
Every time he leaves
Every time we have to part
I get so depressed
It's only for a night
We'll be together again tomorrow
But I can't help it
I swear it's unhealthy
To need him as much as I do
Am I that weak?
That dependant?
That I need his hand to constantly hold?
I miss him severely
But he's only just out the door
I pine for him every night
I just want to snuggle up to his warm body
Is that so wrong?
My heart aches for him
It hurts so bad
All my joy leaves with him
But I can't tell him
I'm afraid I'll push him away
And I can't live without him
I know this in my heart
