Stop the Avoidance Cycle

Your avoidance attachment 
In such denial of it
Placing blame on everything else 
Blaming me making feel like I’m not ever going to be enough
Slapping my love right in front of my face
Like the abuse- 
you’re taking it out on me

I had nothing to do with it
I gave all my love and more
I was selfless in my heart to you 
I held onto hope- 
that’s just me

I prayed often for the pain to go away, for you
My love wasn’t enough to erase the traumas
I couldn’t control it 
I could only Hope 
I still have Hope 
Hope is what I cling to

If you can’t see the pattern
PTSD from October
It’s not from Halloween 

Go get ing Help
So Hope can survive
GOD, knows!
Save your soul
Enough living in pain
My Love, go get ing Help
Stop the cycle 
Stop the cycle

It hurts to see it 
It comes out viciously attacking and destroying the love
You had someone so beautifully special in your heart
You gave that all up
For-
Avoidance attachment style
Show me the love for yourself and me
