this is what you do to me:

i drop my body
to the bathroom floor
and embrace
the tile

i inhale, exhale

i cry but the tears creep back into my eyes

i don't have depression
but you make me depressed.
i am not suicidal
but you'd make me kill myself.
i am not vengeful
but if i had the chance,
i'd make every moment
of your life
painful

i have the power to destroy you,
but i won't.
you have the power to save me,
but you won't.

Author's Note: sometimes i wonder if i'll ever escape this.
