Eternal Permanence

There was a time where I felt whole. It changed suddenly when you arrived. I felt wanted and needed. I started to believe that it was real. The world had changed into a warmer light with you around. The illusion of happiness was soon a rotten mess. The smile was full of worms and the kiss full of waste. The touch that you used to soften became the punches that created emotional bruises. No words could fully sweep up the hurt and guilt. Time passed and soon the bond had lost meaning. It became a game with only one end: confinement. A space where no one could enter, but I could never leave. The truth suppressed until I could not feel the hurt bleeding through.
