Anxiety Killed My Relationship
by @hollister
Every time things start to get good,
She searches for the inevitable catch.
The Prince isn’t as charming as he seems,
There has to be a serpent beneath the surface;
Slithering into her brain, she deflects.
Every fight another cinder block,
Pulling her beneath the tide.
How can she dignify a healthy relationship
When she’s only known dysfunction?
How does she adjust?
Understand?
Love?
She falls for the wrong ones,
Gives them her all
And when the good one comes along,
She will, of course, sabotage.
He does not understand-
Every day is not a fresh start.
She lives in last night.
And she cannot escape.
He cannot kiss away the pain.
The damage.
But god dammit he tries.
