A Brief Summary of the History of my Love Life
I'll try to remove all
The sentimental, delusional
Meaning to the words you
Used to say so long ago
In the special moments we'd lay there
Exposing our hopes and fears as we'd bare all
Vulnerability and sharing
Our deepest thoughts
And softest embraces.
It seems that over the years
It's finally been made clear
That when I hoped to have you near
There was little on your side
Except the sense of pride
That you could always make me stay
While simultaneously pushing away;
Insincere emotions born from once upon a time fairy tales.

Sorry, I was worried if I should have put this up. This is a 4 in the morning poem, just working through some old, deep rooted feelings that I would LIKE to overcome. It doesn't necessarily reflect anything but some feelings left over time by a bunch of experiences and insecurities/"oxidized anxiety" (I referred to in my previous poem).
Thank you for reading and commenting. I am probably fine. haha

That simultaneous pushing away and making you stay seems perverse. Sadistic on her part. Taking pride in this disturbs and angers me. I hope this does not reflect your relationships in general. Nobody deserves this kind of treatment. Outstanding write but very, very sad.

Haha, it reflects on why my attempts at relationships these days aren't as hopeful as they were 15 years ago. No worries my friend. Thank you for the comment.

the title had me thinking the audience to your words was unspecified so the awareness that the target is one person makes it so much more intense

re: Re: A Brief Summary of the History of my Love Life
You were correct with the title. This is directed at several experiences I have had over the years, which may make it less intense, but probably more sad/lame.
Thank you for reading and commenting.
