I will hold onto anything.
No matter the situation,
The pretenses,
The struggles,
Difficulties with love,
Life,
You.
I cannot seem to give up,
And for some reason,
I am wrapped around your finger.
I follow you around,
Like a lost puppy.
I lose my mind,
Bending over backwards,
To your needs.
Might as well feed me poison,
Drain me of everything,
And hang me on a noose.
Because after you're through with me,
I will have no fight left in me.

You are my God.
My ruler,
Everything I know,
And I orbit around you.
Your pull is too strong,
And I am nimble.
Pathetic,
Spineless,
And ruined by you.
I bow before you,
Defeated,
Struggling,
Needing just one...
Sense of affection.
I want to be acknowledged,
By the one I love the most.
And it kills me,
To feel our demise approaching.
Creeping onto us,
Unassuming,
Blinded by you,
I can't feel it coming.
And then it hits me,
I collapse.
... Were now broken.

I thought we could make it.
Leaving you,
Was the hardest thing I could imagine.
I cannot picture life without you.
You were the blood in my veins,
The air I breathe,
The sun,
The stars,
Everything.
And once I lost you,
I lost everything.
I became nothing,
Absolutely nothing.
I needed you back,
But something told me,
That I'm not alone.
And I started to lose the need.
I started to lose my grip on you.
I had a revelation.
I
Don't
Need
You.
So I'm tired,
Of us,
Running in circles,
And trying to make ends meet.
Because all of the effort,
Is futile...
This poem is about being in a one-ended relationship with someone and you can't seem to escape. These next few poems will be inspired by Ellie Goulding's new album, Halcyon because I love it and the whole album is just chock full of artistic influences. This poem in particular is inspired by a mashup of her songs "My Blood" and "Figure 8" So make sure to fave :meow:
