"No Escape" Inspired by This is Not Real Life:

No Escape

I thought escaping your prison

would be enough.

I thought I would be better

when I didn’t have

to see you

talk to you.

But leaving your presence

hasn’t left you behind.

I still hear the echo of

your words

your lies.

Fear of you finding me

fear of you replacing me

fear of you not caring anymore

fear of me still seeking your love –

fears of you are crushing me.

Most of all,

I fear that I haven’t actually escaped

that I never will.
