you

i need to run as far as possible
but legs will purposely slow down.

i've been poisoned
by the things you put in my head.
clinging on to all your words
as if you wanted, i'd be dead.

you will drown me
then save me
and announce yourself as a hero

that's it.
this is the last time.
i mean it.
i promised myself.
i told myself i could get away from this.
you're not forcing me to stay.
yet i can't go.
my biggest enemy
is now my inner me.

i'm just a character in your game.
i took all the pain you gave me
and somehow translated it to love.
but the truth is , i don't even know if i love you.
i don't know how to love.

you are toxic to my brain
and pain to my heart
but hell , i can't get enough of you.
