i internally punished myself for loving you
something that you never understood
i secretly believed the lies people shoved down my throat
that our love was
twisted
evil
immoral
unnatural
repugnant
then i told myself
this couldn't possibly be love
love wouldn't send me into panic attacks at 2 am
love wouldn't leave me thinking the only way
to relieve my pain
is by placing a blade to my wrists
love shouldn't feel like
a hell i'm forever trapped in
