I Guess I'll Just Wait Over Here

The feelings of someone who keeps on coming back.

I Guess I'll Just Wait Over Here

I'll always come running back
Maybe that's why you keep hurting me
Because I'll never stay away
Just write angry soliloquies
You know I can't let go 
You know I can't just leave
You know that you suffocate
But I'll pretend I don't need to breath
You know how this story goes
I can't stick to hating you
We both know that you're lying
But we'll pretend that it's all true
I can't help but forgive and forget
Because this time, this time, this time
It'll all be better now
I swear, it'll all be fine
And a part of me is scared
Part of me thinks I'm cruel
For not understanding
For not being your tool
For, I guess, not being there for you
But maybe you're just gaslighting
And now I'm all confused
I forgot which of us was lying
And maybe I should shut up
Not ruin something good
I think it's a good thing
I guess I think I should
But you don't care if it's a good thing
Because you know that I'll come back
Because I feel like I'm losing
Because you might attack
Because I feel so bad
Or can't seem to follow through
Because I lack commitment
Or because it's best for you 
So I guess you can keep hurting me
Keep scorning and stay mean
Because I'll keep running back
I'll never do something for me
So until I just wake up
Until I swallow my fear
Until I face the music
I'll still be waiting here

Being Me

Wow! What a heartfelt write! All I can say is, is that gaslighting really does your head in. I had never heard of it before I was shown that I had suffered the effects of this. Unrequited love puts you in exactly the position you speak of. I truly hope that you realise soon that the object of your desires is not the only person for you to love. Their will be others. I have given this 5 stars because I just know that there will be many who can relate to this stunningly painful write of yours x

Thank you so much! I thought a lot of people may be able to relate to this in a lot of different ways, whether it be a toxic friendship, romantic relationship or something else entirely. 
Stay amazing!

You, the fire. Me, the wood.

I guess you could say this was a toxic relationship.

You, the fire. Me, the wood.

Like fire and wood
Together we burned
Perfect together
Until I realised you hurt...
