Literature Text

In the face of fear
of fight or flight
You say the strangest things.

You scream,
You cry,
You claw at skin,
You don't want to be alone.

You run and hide,
and wish to die,
Feeling undeserved.

I search and find
and try to revive
Trying to reach
Inside your heart.

You push away -
and I leave -
My extended hand
Open in the air.

I stare at the
Empty space
Where you once
Stood so proud.

And with this,
I place my pledge
To try and get you back.
Inspired by an argument that was had between myself and my ex-girlfriend on Friday night.
