Codependency

I need you to need me, So I can be happy. I just want to help, Let me love you, Let me care for you. Please, Don't hate me. I just want to make you happy. I’ll be yours for as long as you'll have me. Forever, infinity, You’ll be my always, For as short as that may be. I’ll be your dime piece For as long as you’ll love me. I promise, I can make you happy. No, please don’t leave me, It’ll probably kill me, Knowing my help wasn’t what you needed. That ruins me, I’m so sorry. I’m sorry I wasn’t enough To make you happy, To make you love me. I loved you with all I had And you STILL hurt me. I thought unconditional wouldn’t hurt me, But, codependency has me by the throat, In a choke hold. You’re my forever. I thought, As I put you on that pedestal. Little did I know that would Completely destroy me And belittle the happiness within me.
