reoccurring heartbreak

A Poem by elle

your hugs were that of asylum jackets
there to restrict more than comfort me
Because you didn't want to love me right
But you also didn't want anyone else to.

Hi Elle, my first visit to your page today. People can be so selfish in love, so afraid to commit yet unable to let go - so we are left in limbo. Well conveyed
