I'm so scared of potentially losing you
That I neglect your present self
Pushing you further away towards
My self-fulfilling prophecies
I'm so scared of potentially losing you
That I neglect your present self
Pushing you further away towards
My self-fulfilling prophecies
My muscles tense as I prepare to flee
Breath hitching
Heart pumping
Eyes shut tightly around dilated pupils
As my body lay motionless in this empty bed
Thinking of our imaginary future
And preparing to lose what wasn't real to begin with.
sandcastles in the seabed while rolling waves pull its grains apart into new forms. pillars firmly shifting ebb and flow insistent claws thwarted by dismantling tides. hardy grains crumbled when packed in as established thoughts recycle history as painted fantasy.
Your true insanity
Muffled, silenced screams,
A whimper the only indication
That you’re losing control
Unhinged
Unwinding
Unfurling
Hair scrunched and pulled tight
Pain to distract and peel away
At the expanding explosives
Within your
Itchy Twitchy Shaky
Tick Tock Rip
No, stop!
Screams, layered
Clawing, stiffening
Wailing
Demented
Moaning
Crumpled
Collapsing, deflated as she finally broke
Snapped
Split
Cracked
Extinguished
Exploded
Imploded, more like.
Careful, your crazy is showing.
Drunken awakening
Realisation of self, desperate attempts to revive
Resuscitate
Rescue and control.
Spiral and sink,
Fogged and shattered,
Exploding incontinuities
Repugnant existence
Advise
Counsel
Recognition, realisation, repetition,
Confession to the self of
The slow descend into
Drifting out of control.
Back to a routine
To denial of patterns and comfort
Desperately hiding away to avoid
Burning more bridges,
Hurting while hurting
Defences up while loved ones
Loved hard in the wrong way.
Is anything but my preferred way
The wrong way
Or am I asserting control
By pushing everyone away.
Self esteem plunging
Self love dissipating
Self hate emboldening
Worthlessness strengthening.
