Our One Year Anniversary

• 

I remember everything.

I will never forget.

My dear, it is our one year anniversary. One year ago today, I was finally able to escape your grasp.

You ruined me.
Scarred me without making a trace.
Deprived of sleep as you slept so soundly.
You ate like a king, as I grew thinner.
I'm shaking... and shaking...
Why are you so calm?
How are you so calm? 
And collected?
I can still smell the old tacky motel room.
I still feel the fear you instilled in me.
One year later, I am awake still.
You would not let me go.
Shaking... now sobbing.
My lips and limbs are now numb.
Unintentionally always tensing my body.
My muscles ache as the pain grows heavier.
I feel as if I am always on edge...
My body reacts as if I was on a rollercoaster.
But I am standing still.
Still.
Stuck.


Finally, rid of you.
But I will never forget.
Happy one year anniversary.
