The Reality of Partner Dependency
He just keeps pushing your buttons
He was delusional to have thought that “reset” would fix everything and erase the past
He thought that all I needed was a “reboot” since we’re all a little broken and out of sort
But in reality, I wasn’t able to power on anymore
He used to be my shoulder to cry on
My safety blanket
But then I dreaded waking up next to him
He used to wipe my tears and eventually my cries became bothersome to him
I remember him holding me when times were rough and I remember embracing him without ever wanting to leave his side
But those feelings soon faded when all I ever wanted to do was hit him
For making me feel unloved, useless, unworthy, invisible, unappreciated, ugly, and so much more under the stars
We used to laugh hysterically until our chests hurt
My chest pains nowadays but I believe that’s my heart trying to leap on out to search for a new owner
It called bullshit on its current living situation in my chest I guess
