You put fear in me
Sowed the seed so deep into my heart I sometimes find it hard to breathe
I'm afraid to confront you
No longer can I even look into your eyes
Every phone call makes me break into hives
Every text like that of sharp knives
You took away my ability to be ok
No longer can I build myself up after every encounter
Pick up the pieces
Mend myself
No longer can I build myself an armour
For each time you broke it down
You
broke

Parts of me I once loved
You took and took until I was no longer
I can't speak
I can't express
You stole it all from me
I'm scared
Of you
