Brizie

With every word she speaks
Every breath she breaths
Every drug she takes
Every lie she tells

I grow further and further away
I deny knowing her
My love for her grows weaker
It all starts to fade

With every guy she sleeps with
With every beer she drinks
Every stupid speech she gives
Every crime she commits

My heart grows weary
The tears grow more steady
The pain grows bigger
The worry buries me

With every fake apology
With every sob story she tells
Every act she performs
Every fake hug she gives

The more hopeless I feel
The more desperate I become
The more stress she causes
The more lost I feel

I love her
With all my heart
And I have always believed her lies
And trusted her stories

But i'm tired of being lied too
I'm tired of watching
Her destroy her life
I am tired of everything

I love her
But she is so screwed up
That i've reached the point
Of giving up....

wow i sure like this one as well! this was such deep and sad work. let concern not be another virtue we trample upon today. i'm glad you love your cousin so much and this was quite touching too. but i must point out that we have no control over others but ourselves, and whoever thinks otherwise are really kidding themselves.
nice writing here!
PS. I was listening to "Give Me A Sign" by Breaking Benjamin as I read, and that gave this one more meaning. i think you should try that too!

Boundaries to protect yourself from being dragged into her world, but leave room in your big heart for your love for her. Family is family. I loved this poem. One of your best!

This is really a great write, Sarah. The thing is, love doesn't know boundaries and you've shown that in your poem. Love is what it is and will always remain and that's why tears and pain and worry exist.

(Maybe your cousin should read your poem. Just sayin'.)

We all have times where we feel like giving up! sometimes you just have to let them work it out! great write!!
