Figment
Finally, I break free from your clutches.
It's been so long, I've forgotten what the outside world looks like.
I run towards the door.
Almost there!
Almost free!
But your hands wrap around my fragile ankle.
I am pulled back in once again.
You bastard! Let me go!
You hate, and sink down to my level.
Hate, hate, hate.
That is all you can possibly do.
You have no beating pulse.
No smile of love through your grin.
Your voice cracks, and through your teeth,
you say, " love you."
And now I know why I have stayed.
A figment of my imagination.
