Then and now

ill still write even if you arent part of the story anymore.
there will always be more wolves in sheeps clothing
to keep it interesting.

I use to run to you
Whenever I felt scared
Like hiding under the blankets when your small.
It doesn't actually work but it still feels like it does.

The last time I spoke to you
I saw you teeth bared
Stance in the ready to take me down.
To help me drown
In my own self doubt.

I tried to run
But the exit turned into a trap
Like your obsession with me
There was no way out.

Today I'm stronger than I was
Because you have been erased
Almost completely.
Sometimes I wake in panic
Thinking I still feel be burn of your toxic touch.

The voices I hear at random
Sound like you.
But I've learned how to listen to different songs.

If I could rewrite that chapter of my life I'd still have you be apart of it back then.
But when you ask me to let you in
This time I'd say no ones home.
