Marathon

marathon of deep seeded feelings 
a long-distance emotional
endurance race to the finish
a maladaptive mental competition 
that lasted an extremely long time 
that want great lengths to try and 
remain within the unhealthy contest 
within the game that played out year
after year between the two hearts that 
fell into the emotional trap long ago
