Entangling

 

I hated being so quick to lose my cool 

I regret not being able to breathe and let be

Its a tragedy love isn't really enough 

And I regret giving so much freely 

A shame things had to end this way

But I can't regret doing the right thing 


And walking away, I'll be okay. 

Building walls just to keep you away

I can't care if you're fine or not 

That compassion always snares the trap


Entangling me back with you 

Entangling a crazy rendezvous 

Entangling my heart be damned

Entangling where I was bound


I can't allow my self to reminisce now

I know I'll end up even worse off than I am now 

This parasisic relationship isn't fair 

You always come out of it better still

It's no wonder you fight so hard 

Only at the end to keep it going 


The emotional warfare takes pause

Now your crazy has another cause 

If I break away theres nothing

Stable enough for you to cling to


Entangling so we rely 

Entangling codependency lies 

Entangling all I have now

Entangling all your desires


I can't be who I am

If I stay with you you'll deplete me of what makes me 

And to leave you I have to let go of the last bits

Of empathy I have still to claim my name

If I stay I fade away

And that's why I keep finding I'm 


Entangling me back with you 

Entangling a crazy rendezvous 

Entangling my heart be damned

Entangling where I was bound

Entangling so we rely 

Entangling codependency lies 

Entangling all I have now

Entangling all your desires

Conceeding

Image
 Today, I walked away (literally and figuratively) from my toxic codependent love.    This isn't the first time.  This time might not stick as it's been done many times in two and a half years.  Today felt different though he seemed to be pushing it and when I couldn't help it and admitted defeat against versions of myself that he cultivated and preferred in his own head... The worst versions of me... Inaccurate versions... I conceded that battle and walked away.  I didn't cry at first.  It wasn't until I was alone hours later I cried.  But I know it wouldn't improve.  And it was dangerous when it was at its existing worst.  I'm mourning the him I wish he could be.   Day 1....  Hello.

Time to Come Undone

It's been a few days since we've spoken So it's been a few days since we've fought And now you're reaching out to me Wanting to come and see me  I don't know if you should I have to say I really miss you  Your absence leaves me feeling incomplete  But the peace and calm these past few days Make recent choices worth this loneliness  Every second chance was just another battle  Loving you never was logical But the comfort of this reprieve  Makes these changes obvious  It's time to come undone If I'm supposed to be better off Then why am I resisting the change  Every ignored call takes effort  To seem like I just don't care  I know that just isn't fair  But what's fair has never been the point It doesn't matter now. You had your chance, To put the effort in to fix us  I told you then but if you forgot it... I won't, can't, I refuse to do this anymore  Loving you wasn't logical  And neither was staying so long This peace ...

Wrong For Once

  I'm sitting here by myself It's too late to go out I hate being alone Because that's when everything that's wrong illuminates Now I'm forced to look at myself Overdue mirror work And wonder what to do Now I've set myself free We werent meant to be, probably My friends all agree, but why Can't I be wrong for once So I can act on this desire To run find you And take you back I thought I was lonely then When youd stay out all night Or after a fight But at least then I knew that we'd always reunite I made the choice to shut you out You still try I deny Another go at it Why now am I so sure? We werent meant to be, possibly My friends all agree, really Can't I be wrong for once So I can act on this desire To run find you Still wanting me I'm still sitting up late alone I don't want to think of replacing you It feels like cheating Why do you still hold my heart so tight When I know in reality You never could hold i...
