Parachute Love

Parachute Love
Is it love?
Or just an option.

I love him.

He’s my best friend

But he’s safe.

Someone to fall back on.

What if I confused it?

If its not love just safety.

I don’t want to hurt,

He doesn’t deserve it
I don’t want it…
But it seeks me.

It destroys me until I disappear.

Until I fade into the background.

I don’t want pain,
Yet I welcome it.

With love comes pain.

But isn’t it all the same?

Emotion. Weakness.. Hurt.

How can I be strong enough?

What can I do to love truly.

I love him,
but won’t hurt him.

I’m free falling into endless space,

And he’s my parachute.

I love him & I hope I Deserve him.
