How can I expect

mercy and respect

in the face of such

overwhelming disconnect

πŸ–‡β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸ–‡

You are me

we became one

I cannot blame you

for what I have become

πŸ–‡β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸ–‡

We pull and tug

against the strands

like tangled chains

wrapped around a stand

πŸ–‡β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸ–‡

It’s only once we give up

our prideful pulling

taking our time

reverse the effort, pushing

πŸ–‡β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸ–‡

When I accept

that you need help

and you give me time

to find myself

πŸ–‡β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸ–‡

We are unbound

coming together in bliss

this pair stronger

than either ever was
