you don't know me
but I'm worried about you
my parallel self...apparently
6 months ago...a chance mistake...
fat fingers...so he claimed
everything instantly changed
& now I'm aware of your existence
though I'd be surprised if he admitted to mine
a startling realization...I wasn't the only one
pinned like an insect under his thumb
...that's what has me concerned
see..I know my own strength
it's been tested & found to be solid
but yours...of yours I have no knowledge
only the concern you apparently expressed
resulting in his gaslighting mis-text
this is my question...
can you withstand the pain
as he twists those hands ever tighter around your throat
how delicate is it...I wonder
where is your breaking point
do you even know...
you better...
believe me...he will most assuredly find it
& that message sent to me by accident
...beginning with your name...
the one that shattered the unraveling bindings he had on me
final straw on a dying camel's back
those words I was never meant to see
that's what has me worrying...
will you be okay...
without me bearing part of the weight
from what I read...what he said...
you're already feeling the strain
can you withstand the increase in pressure
will you escape...or will you crack
I no longer live under his rule
but you...if you're still trapped
please get out...
...while you still can
