Make believe

Fri, 07/31/2020 - 18:38 -- Yanka

 Darkness

It creeps in 

My greatest nightmare 

Yet it also brings me joy 

What is it about you

That gets me all worked up

One minute I feel like I’m floating on the highest and lightest of clouds 

Next it’s gone 

Replaced by grey heavy clouds

I wish I could pour my heart to you

I cannot

Even though you tell me you love me

I can never rely on the words you tell me

Can’t you see my insecurities 

I feel used by you sometimes 

Though I would like to believe otherwise 

Am I blinded by my feelings

Is what we share a mare dream 

That I have molded to make believe 

Do you love me out of sympathy 

Because it’s the right thing 

A thousand questions go unanswered 

And I will never be brave enough to ask 

Maybe because In doing so 

 I will lose you 

I’m afraid to lose you 

Because though you are my darkness 

You are also my light

You are my joy

My strength 

My happiness....

It will look?

I meant that everything shifts over time .... If your love is pure it will return.  

You keep fighting for him. I married my husband twice, five years after divorce ... difficult love!

Really are you still together,? Why do you describe it as deficult 

is love really that complicated and painful, is that how it’s ought to be ?
