I can't believe
I'm losing sleep over u.
It can't be true,
these feelings just won't leave,
even after your suffocating
yet innocent looking
jaws tore my heart
and soul apart,
leaving me cold and lifeless.

My heart u held in retention,
in eternal imprisonment
with malevolent intentions.
An archangel hellbent
on improving me,
when my imperfections
are what set me
apart from everyone...

for some reason the second stanza stuck out as better, not sure why.  I like how you expressed the feeling of it in those lines

Those lines are so incredibly strong but very sad. It's amazing the people we lose sleep over. We know they're horrible and worth nothing in our minds but in our hearts we can't let go. *sigh*

Take care of yourself and thanks for sharing.
