Emotionally Suffocated

Nothing hurts more than being aware of certain things.

“Let’s escape together”

At that moment I didn’t understand

But later,

I did.

I could’ve swear

everything was going well between us

In every way possible

Only

Some issues that could have been solved

Sooner or later.

After a conversation, everything changed.

Aware of the world—he wants to escape.

Everything changed from that moment.

Found calmness

Only

When I was present.

Could be happy

Only

When we were together.

He switched from a free soul

To

A captive soul.

Everything happened so suddenly

That I realized it

Until

It was too late…

We died

Then I understood, his escaping plan.

He didn’t randomly ask me to escape

With him.

He wanted us to go away so we could have lived.

It was his way of saying that he

Chose us

Over anything else.
