Dying Love
April 1, 2015
He made me feel alive again.
My lips were the portal
Through which he
Breathed life into my
Insentient corpse.
Slowly, but surely,
He was bringing me
Back to life. Or, so I thought.
My aching bones shook
And I struggled to stand.
Trying to get on his level,
But he was out-of-reach.
My feeble fingers fought
And strove to reach for him.
However, my failing legs
Collapsed. This isn’t how I
Wanted to fall for him.
I was dying all over again; twice.
I thought he made me feel alive,
But my foolish mind now realized,
He was always the nail in my coffin.

Sometimes you think a person is exactly what you need, but they turn out to be the complete opposite. It's important to recognize that even though a person may make you feel like you're free, they could actually be holding you back. Our love for that person may cause us to temporarily go blind, but in the end all will be revealed.
