in a corner
years
on repeat
every minute

How
Can I mourn
The person
You didn’t allow me
To become?
Why
Do I
Keep believing
You’d want
To help me?
What
Would it take
To show you
That
I am
More lost
Than ever?
When
Will I feel
The love
You say
You have
For me?
Where
Are you
Now that you’ve
Left
Your marks
All over me?
Who
Am I
To deserve
These questions
Answered?

If you get too close,
I’ll pull away.
If you talk too kindly,
I won’t stay.
If you push too hard,
I’ll say no.
If you stay too long,
I’ll just go.
If you try too hard,
I’ll soon leave.
If you enquire too personally,
I’ll simply deceive.
But,
If you pull away,
I’ll track you down.
If you don’t stay,
I’ll surely drown.
If you say no,
I won’t know what to do.
If you just go,
I’ll blame it all on you.
If you leave me,
you will soon see
If you deceive me,
I’ll simply plea.
Please,
That you return
and never go.
That I’ve changed,
don’t you know?
That I am
sincerely sorry.
That you don’t
need to worry.
That I am a
new man.
That I have a
mental health plan.
That I won’t
repeat the cycle.
That you are
my one true idol.
That it is your company
that I crave.
That I will worship you
to your grave.

Thoughts intrude,
Like a hammer’s blow,
Destroying the peace
I’ve cultivated.
Thoughts intrude,
Like a siren’s scream,
Stealing the attention
I’ve promised.
Thoughts intrude,
Like a threatening word,
Forcing the action
I’ve avoided.
Thoughts intrude,
Like a funeral march,
Revealing the emotions
I’ve suppressed.
Thoughts intrude,
Like a bird’s call,
Highlighting the beauty
I’ve missed.
Thoughts intrude,
Like a child’s smile,
Connecting the reality
I’ve lost.
