whipped

i have been allowing myself to feel some of the pent up things from over the years tonight, and this is how i let out one of my breakups

Whipped. 

That's what I was when you left me.

Every step you took was another strike on my back, 

blood seeping through my skin. 

I dangled by my rope-bound wrists,

holding on to the hope that one day, 

you'd stop lashing at me.
