Poem Title:
Poem
It's difficult, but please try to understand, my behaviour is something I cannot command. At first I'll be serene like a sweet daydream, but then unstable and intensely extreme. Enter at your own risk, but be aware, loving me can turn into a nightmare. I'm like a grenade, don't pull my trigger, I'll explode your mind with raging rigor. My infatuation is like poetic idealisation, but feeling unloved leads to devaluation. The first hint of believing you're quitting, will result in my psyche automatically splitting. When I begin to feel like I'm not good enough, I'll try to push you away and call your bluff. You may label my actions as pathetic dumbness, but this is me feeling empty with numbness, so I make no apologies for the ghosting silence, when my demons set restrictions like sly tyrants. I try to block out regular paranoid suspicions, so don't think I'm petty when setting conditions, but with abandonment issues, I struggle to trust. Please be sensitive as being patient is a must. Be warned, my moods are regularly inconsistent. My double standards may make you feel distant. I need constant reassurance that you are only mine, because insecurities make my sanity decline. I don't want you to suffer like lovers who came before. When I want to leave, don't let me run out of the door. I just want to be loved with all my flaws accepted, instead of being rejected, lonely and neglected. Treat me gently and my self doubt will settle, love me sincerely and I'll bloom like a precious petal. Silent One 28 September 2021
