an excerpt

excerpt from "scars of what once was" by AL.

my words grew weak, and my mind started racing.

maybe you couldn't hear me. 

i screamed it again, hoping you would hear me. 

(...)

and then you spoke again, and your words stung like venom.

they pierced into my fragile heart, like a shot of adrenaline,

reviving the bit that loved me, the bit that remembered what you once were to me.

(...)

i broke out of the paralysis your love had put me in.

i broke out of the ropes keeping my wrists bound.

(...)

i know this will scar. i know i'll never be rid of your hold on me. 

i'm stuck with you, stuck here.
