Distraction
I've been fine.
Better than ever.
It's been months
Since I crashed.
Almost years
Since I've see
A proper
Breakdown.
I realized
For a while
He had been
My distraction.
He was a negative charge
Taking on all of mine;
I kept the positive.
Is that why I held on
Longer than I should have?
Now I come crashing,
The world falling in.
The momentary distraction
Forever out of reach.
The emotions intensify
And I wish they would stop.
I fear getting close
To the point of giving up.
