Anxiety in a Relationship

When you sit in anxious silence, waiting to know the outcome of your fate, and you write to cure the heartache.

He welcomes me sat around in anxiety

Whilst he relaxes and frees his mind from its cage

He creates questions and uncertainty

Quietened down by bubbling rage

Intensity is his criticism

A way to silence my screaming mind

Gut clenching in its honesty

Vulnerability never hard to find

Hushing away any questions

Like right now is not the time

Picking up the scraps of him

That others have left behind

Feel him here in body but never fully

Never engaged with now

Not ever really present and immersed

Ever wondering why and how

He doesn’t feel the edge come close

Doesn’t think it will ever show

Doesn’t realise how close we have come

Thinks he is ever in the know

Can’t live in the limbo

Can’t live without it in peace

Continuing to break so slowly

Wondering will this ever cease
