She loved him so much,

so much she was drained.

So much she was sick,

sick to her stomach, sick to her heart.

He toyed with her and played

with her feelings.

Cat and mouse,

he couldn’t stop it.

And yet,

he couldn’t give her what she wanted.

Still, if she pulled away, he would find a way

to yank her back.

Promises of love unending.

Implied sex, so seductive.

The world revolved around him,

and he made her head spin.

Around and around they went together,

never beginning and never ending.

She looked in the mirror and thought,

why do I feel so empty?

She had no idea.
