Falling

This is the story of my life. Right here. Laid out in front of you. Happens all the time and I can't seem to rid myself of this cycle.

A complicated past
So thwarted with pain
Lies, Distance, Hurt
Your support was me
Because no one else stood beside you

Two broken sides
Cracked from the same problem
Lies, Distance, Hurt
Both fell to me for back up
How could I possibly choose?

Still the same fight
Divides the two now still
Lies, Distance, Hurt
Pulling me every which way
Shredding my own base for myself

There's nothing left
Of me to support either of us
Lies, Distance, Hurt
I'm all washed out
With nothing left for me to hold on to

I choose not to choose
And that has what's gotten me here
Blackness, Pain, Loss
That's what I'm made of
Because they've ripped everything from me

Now when I need you the most
You've gone running and hide
I'm spiraling out of control
Yet you still stand outside my reach!
Why won't you come help me?

Thank you for sharing such a personal poem. Your willing transparency allows me to relate well to the inner struggle you eloquently express...Feeling there is something a step away that can help resolve past and present emotions is a frustrating feeling...Some times that step is blocked by an arms length. I enjoyed you piece and now I need to make the time to read more of your work...

Thank you. I use writing to express feelings that I'm afraid to talk about with people close to me. I think that writing should be the deepest part of you, and that's what I try to share. Thank you for reading.

Do not worry soon you can escape the cycle of falling. I sort of had and so can you. Just remain strong. I love the way you put complicated emotions into beautiful art. Keep up the AMAZING work :)

there is betrayal in these words and hurt and pain..when we choose to give ourselves this much...it can never be for gain..because usually the other person is a taker..not a giver..you end up feeling the used one..

[Heromen Selena]

Yeah, I agree with your statements. Thank you for reading.
