Painfully Blind

I dream of your hands around my neck
Trying my best not to suffocate
Because you told me to keep breathing

Think of me and shiver
Like I did
Like I do

Retrace the bruises you left
Put weight on imbalance
Try to make it right

I called back for her that night
Hand on hips
Picture everything else but this

Remember

Say I was wrong
Say it was my fault
Hold on to your thoughts

Step backwards
Leave this room
Never look back
