Working on it
trying to make a relationship work
Nothing matters because we get along well
But passing time together sometimes feels like hell
I know when it’s real
I know when it’s not
I can’t force it but I want to fix it
You feel uncomfortable and don’t want my cuddles
You’re scared of how I’ll react
which is so fair enough because I can’t hold back
My emotions are still a free spirit
Despite my attempts to control through logic and limitation of my expectations
I feel my heart slowly caving in
I don’t know what to say or how to begin
I didn’t feel like I wasn’t there for you
Nor did I realise my emotional intensity
I don’t really know what changed
Or why it feels like too much
I can’t help but want to clutch
You in my arms
But I can’t make you feel calm
It is fine but at the same time it isn’t
My eyes burn trying to look through this emotional blizzard
Reanalysing what this dynamic is
So it doesn’t quite always feel this climatic
Movies are nice but the itch of the lice in my brain
Brings me more pain than I can take
I make you sad
You can’t always express that
In fact, you’re not always yourself
I miss the closeness we’ve both felt
I’ve never experienced such regret
But at the time I didn’t know how to let
You know so I just ended up letting myself blow
The fuck up
We’ve both fucked up
My mind won’t shut up
Because I just want to make it better
How can you let me in?
And if you don’t?
I guess that’s okay but you’re the only one that knows me fully
Is this healthy
Will listening to your feelings make you want me in the way I want you?
To crave this connection
Did I mention, I love you?

i write poems to release all the emotions flowing around in my brain... it's not a choice really. most forcus on my circular anxious feelings, allowing me to understand myself deeper and move on quicker
