This is about living in an abusive, controlling relationship. Loving someone who does not lov her back but holds her prisoner for their own selfish gain. She's stuck, owned, being sucked dry, tortured psychologically, physically, sexually, And she gives and gives, knowing it's depleting her and that she's doing it all with no hope for love to be returned. Furthermore, I believe the abuser has NPD, because a narc will prey on the empath, who has an abundance of that common human trait they inherently lack and use it up to recognizable. They burn for it and will realise that trait still doesnt belong to them so theyll become resentful and mean to her.
Lover is wild at heart, but she is owned and time is running out. She longs more than anything to be free. To own her own life. But even if time stalled and just for her, just for a few moments, halted all forward motion for awhile...shes wanting to leave, but doesn't yet understand how to get out of there. Especially when abuser would never allow that.
Pandora wanted the same, being created buy a misogynist. But look what happened when she tried. She's just like Atticus, dying to reach her heaven, but ill-equipped to do anything but fail. A life like that will make something as simple as spending your own money, that you earned, on a starbucks coffee without being afraid he'll find out, seem like misbehaving.
