Painting Perfect

This is a true story about how I met a guy and our relationship exceeded very quickly. It made me reflect on my parents relationship that is still broken.

From a date to your apartment,

Your words got mixed and bent,

I went along with your disguise,

Hoping maybe you would show me why,

Maybe I just wanted that glance,

That glance that told me that maybe we would have a chance,

But you only wanted that embrace,

That left me so erased,

I felt bear, and broken,

But you kept going,

I kept telling myself this is just how love feels,

Its supposed to feel injured and frail,

From childhood I watched my parents marriage crumble,

I blame the bottle that made the marriage stumble,

And I thought if I could grow up fast,

It would erase all the questions I got asked,

If I created a perfect relationship,

I would never have to worry about finding companionship,

So I agreed to your date,

Thinking that it would help get my life straight

Author's Note

This is a true story. I got to know a guy real quick in only a couple weeks and I told him everything because I was scared that he would figure out later if I didn't tell him now. He only wanted on thing (surprise, surprise) and it made me reflect on my parents relationship. There still married but its so broken and sad how one person can love someone so much and the other person just doesn't feel that connection anymore. I know I'm still young but I'm just really drawn to how relationships work and what cause them to break, and I hope no one lets the partner control it. Relationships only work when both participants participate. Thank you, and I wrote this really quick late at night, so there might be a couple words I can fix.

Sometimes when you think you are alone in a situation if you pay attention you will see that you are not as alone as it seem. I like this writing it reminded me of how somewhere down the line we all have a sort of similarity yet told differently.
