Being pulled on
From both sides
I'd look to see
Who is torturing me
But I know it's you
Who can't let go
You won't let me breathe
Or speak another name
Without losing yourself
And therefore
Pushing me away
I wish you could see
What you do to me
The damage done
To my heart
And my self-esteem
The pain
Once again
Screaming in my head
So deafening
I'd try to cover my ears
But you can't cover up
What you can't see
Can't disguise
What is buried deep
I long for a break
From the drowning
The gasping for air
The flailing
Reaching out
Touching nothing
Because you are so lost
That you can't see me
Nor hear me
I wish you saw me
Heard me
And knew I wouldn't hurt you
I beg of you, please
Give me a break
Set me free
Find your inner peace
