I love you immensely but this go round of us trying to make it work again isn't sitting right with me.

You say you love me and that I have a part of you which is what keeps you coming back to me but that's the problem right there.

You keep coming back but never stay long enough for us to go to the next level.

It's like you're Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jekyll.

You'll do good for a little while; almost having me convinced you're ready to commit.

Then your old habits will start showing once again.

We won't talk for days but you'll be on Instagram posting away.  

You say you would never intentionally hurt me cause that's not the type of man you are.

So what is one to call it then when you keep leaving me crying and scarred.

I keep clinging to the potential you and us I see in my mind.

I hold onto it for dear life because all I want is you by my side.

But if I keep holding on, I'll keep being the one getting hurt.

Wishing I would just muster up the nerve to be completely done with you and free from your curse.

Like I said I love you but I have to love me more.

I have to officially close our twisted love story's doors.

If we're meant to be then we will be.

But right now I have to start the process of taking better care of myself; no longer ignoring my needs.
