Poem -

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
We were the sun and the moon
Together we just... fit
But then one day I realised
Our relationship was an eclipse
We walked the edge together
But looking back now I see
You walked the edge with a rope
And you tethered the rope to me
At some point, I guess I saw
Everything you expected me to be
A medic, a parent, a therapist, a friend
But you were never those to me
At some point, you started lying
You wanted to live in Neverland
But like a grown-up kid, I stopped believing
I couldn't understand
Why Peter Pan 
Became Captain Hook
Why my buddy-cop
Became a crook
So I've realised a truth
Why you walked the edge
And almost fell off
Of every ledge
And you wanted attention
You called my bluff
Well guess what
I've finally had enough
If you can't help you 
Then I certainly can't help
Why should I lift you up,
If you won't lift yourself?
And you've cried wolf too many times
Too many times I've been your pawn
Well I'm staging a revolution
The King was rotten all along
When you kept falling you were clumsy
But when you knew the edge was there
I knew I couldn't keep risking myself to save you
I couldn't keep making myself care
And I get it, you have issues
But you're not the only one
You treat me like the Moon
So you can stay the Sun
Like a Geocentric Solar System
You think you're at the middle
Well, all-seeing-sphynx
Why not answer this riddle
What happens when have you have a plant
That gives you food, flowers. and air
But then one day you stop watering it
And stop giving it love and care
At some point that neglected plant
The one you hid from the sky
Well, I regret to inform you
But that plant will simply die

Being Me

Wow!  Fantastic poem!  It is sad when relationships end up like that. You think you know them but in the end you question whether or not you really knew them at all...and that hurts like crazy. Wonderful writing that I can relate to so I happily give you 5 stars. And I have pinned it so I can read it again  x

I Guess I'll Just Wait...

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...

Heavy

One symptom. One diagnosis. No cure.

Heavy

I never knew things could feel so
Heavy
Not enough to crush
But enough to strain...
