The Way Out
constraint
held back by once the only ally
twas a toxic relationship
Covered in dust
he strolled into my life
not knowing hed be the one
to change my ways of everything
and to help me have won
I won the internal battle
while my former ally
slowly turned to foe
when she was the only person
i was supposed to know
I was trapped
not knowing
there was such a thing of light
when he opened the curtains
I tried to fight
I denied it
tried to go back
which I soon realized
was not okay
In his arms I flourished
while we watched her die and drift away
it was what I needed
like a breath of fresh air
then he left me
how unfair
better myself
was what i continued to do
never again i told myself
but he was the reason I grew.
Contradiction
held back by what was once the only thoughts
twas a toxic mindset
Escaping was a must.
