The synchronicity
Of our lives
Overwhelms me some days

Our dead end
Relationships
Of pain and
Emotional decay ending within
Days
And she abused you
The same way he destroyed me
The same words
Stabbed our fragile
Doves of hearts
They made us need them
With the same
Trickery.

Sometimes you say things
Beyond what I feel I ever could have handled
When you cry to me
Ask me
If you're worthless
I think
That if I hadn't decided to be your anything
Your everything
I couldn't take it

I hold you close
My bare *******
Pressing you because
You need to not want to die and I'm the only one
To ever
Make the anxiety
Leave.

"You're a potential mate
Because
I need
Somebody smart."
Were I anyone else
I think I'd be offended
But we
Understand
That it's actually okay
And you make me
FEEL
Actually
Okay.
