A deluge of tears stream down my face
and all of a sudden, nothing matters.
I’ve been hurt before, I’ll be battered again,
this isn’t a new thing, it’s something I’m used to
by others before, and now by you
My heart doesn’t feel mutilated
but can I even feel it anymore
after so much torment
and you say I’ve been through so much
and yet you still drive me to the edge
but just grasp onto my hair as you pull me back
whispering to me about how exceptional you are
knowing you kept me from oblivion
but you also keep the essence out of my soul
and you smile, complacent as always
that I’m with you, that you have a best friend
a companion that you vilify
admonish me for all your apprehensions
do you even know how to speak to me anymore
I appeal for your forgiveness if I hurt you
and here you are, imprisoning me to the very fringe of this cliff
but the comprehension goes through my head, how much would it hurt
to first feel the wind caress me as I soar,
my heart finally liberated of your crush
but you won’t let me slip over, you hold me back
just enough to please you, not to make me happy,
keep yourself content while I envisage flying away
and if time was relative would it hurt if I fell 
let gravity pull and an angel take me to the boundary of heaven,
released and at ease, nothing to garrote me anymore.
Blood effervescing out of my throat,
my body taut and fragmented,
torment not emotional but physical now,
it hurts less than our years together.
