Push/pull relationships

This is a poem about someone who wants to love you on their terms, and when you exert your love back, they push you away.

Pushing and pulling
For just a chance
To feel you closer
Were crying and were mulling
But were only making
The pot boil over
Maybe this is you taking
Space from overexposure
Or maybe the girl you wanted
Was already picked over

Just a second, then it's gone
I am losing faith, and
This can only last so long
Im pulling and your pushing
But this feels like an endless marathon
And we cant get anywhere
With you always shushing me
Even when you claim you care
You withhold your affection
You have no caress to give me
Unless it decreases your erection
Unless it results in what you want
I am not here at your discretion
I am my own person
With my own needs and desires
I long for when you pulled me too
You want me when you want me
But what of when I want you
Your selfish with yourself
While I give you all I've got
It is never enough
This battle has been long fought
For you to return it in good measure
I am a person
Not an object of your pleasure
Pushing, pulling
For what you
Use to give me freely
If it's not mine to have
Then Take it all back
Keep yourself so close
If thats what you really want
But, this is what you chose
So don't come to me,
Pulling
In a few more years
For me to waste
I cant make you want me
But i have already felt the taste
So about this, let's be fair
Pushing, pulling
A girl's worst nightmare

It took awhile to accept this poem, but once I did, it just flowed out of me.

I have noticed if you listen to your inner feelings the poetry pours out you don`t need to put forth a lot of effort .most of my poems was written in 5 minutes or less

[HeazerH]

I studied psychology, and they used the term push pull relationship for when one person is essentially chasing someone they're already with- and this pulling makes the person you are chasing push...it is considered the most painful type of relationship jot involving death.

people in general don`t give a relationship a chance they meet they like each other on the outside they have sex and are married in a month then they start seeing each other in a different light and comes divorce with all it`s trimmings no phyc just life

[HeazerH]

Luckily the relationship I'm in now is healthy. That is a common thread though.
