Old Habits
You invalidated my feelings,
My emotions are real, true to the bone.
I feel things you only wish to feel,
A relationship isn’t just deals and stones.
You say I overthink everything,
Overthinking might be a blessing and a curse.
I dissect your every single move,
I swear my head might just burst.
You don’t see what I see,
The potential we could reach.
I need you to see my vision too,
Or we’ll be lessons hard to teach.
Old patterns, old behaviours,
Habits we have to leave behind.
My heart adores you deeply,
But do you see the worth I find?
We survived another raw moment,
Another time, things got real.
This isn’t a fantasy partnership,
We’re human, and love is our only deal.
I love you, sweetheart, with almost all I am.
Break me, and it’s done.
I’ll walk away,
To keep at least a piece of myself safe, one by one.
