Poison Petals

Bleed if you need to.

Break if you must.

Just don’t leave.

She left.

She walked out of that hotel room like what we shared could be forgotten with the door clicking shut behind her.

Bold move.

Wrong move.

Because now I’m starving in a way I didn’t know was possible, and I don’t intend to lose her again, no matter how hard she fights me.

She thinks pushing me away will save her.

It won’t.

It just gives me something to push back against.
