Pulling on wings
Slowly and delicately
I hear the screaming
Expressing my fears
I continue to pull
This hurts me
I hear the crying
My sadness is appreciated
This enables me to continue
I am feeding myself
I want to cut deep
I need this
Contradictions are my life
Duality defines me
I want to hurt you immensely
I want to be the only one
The only one who can heal you
I need you to love me
I am slowly dying
I want you to bleed with me
But I will feel guilty
I have pain to give
I will always try to hurt you
I will always love you!

Free verse poem written from the perspective of someone ending a relationship but wanting or even needing the other person to ache for reconciliation. It pains the person leaving and he/she can not fully let go, thus holding the other person's heart hostage. Some people need to be needed but resent it at the same time.
