A smile, so grand and yet
A gimmick, to mimic home.
Your eyes lured me to the unknown.
Gloom lies in your shadow,
And with heartbreak on your mind,
Self-sabotage won this battle,
Raging wars on the inside.
Love is left in its wake.
Encapsulated in me you remain.
Your pain became mine and I absolved us both,
Impatiently waiting to turn grief into growth.
A transformation of sorts, into this abyss,
Contorted and unsorted, I’ve tried to be remiss.
My light is the only flame down this unpaved path,
A constant fleeting love, just out of my grasp.

Sabotage
Lately I’ve been in a funk where everything can be going right. You know I’m in a happy place talking to who knows, I’m at peace and feel like everything is just going great you know. But once I start seeing that everything is going great for some reason I need to sabotage it. I need to sabotage my happiness and what I have going on in my life so no one else is able to do it for me. Does that make sense? Am I the only one who gets this way?
