f o r e w a r d
he says he loves me,
but i don't love him.
i hate him.
i hate it here.
i hate his friend.
i hate this house.
he won't leave me alone.
he's the predator
and i'm the prey.
i feel weak,
i feel low.
i feel caged.
i just want to be let out.
i want to smell the air
and enjoy the breeze
i want to be free.
i want to live,
i want to live without him.
but he won't let me go.
i want a fresh start,
and a life of my own.
i never want to see him again,
he showed me some pictures,
and a video.
of him, and me.
i lost my baby,
and my memories.
i lost my past and hate my present
but i want a future,
without him.
i feel suffocated,
i feel lost.
i can't stand to be around him.
he's letting me go,
and i want to run.
i want to run away from him,
but i can't.
i won't leave him.
because he cared and stuck around.
because he's still here.
it kills him to let me go,
but he does it anyway,
because he loves me.
Author's Note

and i think he's finally realising that.

She was enjoying her new life.

Even though she was still stuck living under the same roof as him, she was making the best of a bad situation and she couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't done this earlier. It wasn't so bad living with him when she constantly ignored his presence around the house.

He hadn't been bothering her lately. He hadn't been hovering around her as much now that she was taking her medicine by herself and actually looking after herself.

Every morning she would hum as she cooked breakfast for herself, a spark inside of her igniting and growing as each day passed.

She would clean around the house, do some gardening if she had time and then she would sit down and watch some of the new shows that she had recently discovered on the Netflix account that he had made for her.

She didn't catch him out when she saw a note on the fridge one day with her username and password. Though she was grateful that he had given her something to do.

Her resentment towards him didn't matter so much anymore because for once, she felt alive.
