You want to suffocate me

You want to suffocate me

Deprive me of air

Drain out my blood

Engrave your misery in my flesh

You will never understand

The impact of your abuse

And how deeply it damaged me

Petty, irrational arguments

That barely make sense

You provoked, insulted,

And trampled what was left of my confidence

I was insanely depressed

I did not know how to react

When you provided me

With security and comfort

Then took it back

You focused on my faults

And ignored my achievements

I am lost every time

Wondering why

A person who loves you could be doing this?
