Can't you see the crimson of my dress?
It matches the stain of my heart,
But slowy now that you're not here
That shade is starting to change to a darker black
Tears are now running cold
Do you like that?
How should this love be?
A one way road where I drain myself to the point
OF BREAKING?!
As I lay here on this icy floor, my red ballroom gown decaying as I do
You don't even care that I'm dying inside
That I'm crying even when your by my side!
I'm desperate for you to come and save me
But now I'm just waiting to get away from this
So you can CHASE ME FOR A CHANGE
Burn another page of this love away, My Darling Dear
And see if I return with that Same fire in my eyes like
Years before
There's something holding me back
Something holding me here
and I wish for these imagenary shackles would break
So the hurt would leave me
As You've done
So many times before.
~End

Anger
Undecisiveness because your bound by unseen chains that are in place by your acceptance of a toxic situation. You there for justify it because someone else situation is worse. That's not the point will you stay and allow it to continue? Deep very Deep. I can relate just learning how to let go for good.
