a smile stretches across her face

as she paces around her room

waiting for their name

to brighten up that space

that face used to be emotionless

she couldn't find a safe place

he had created her brokenness 

she would take her days slow

not sure which emotion to show

after some weeks 

her emotions would peak

she found the happiness 

she long seeked

she felt alive once again

despite her thinking

she wasn't going to feel it again


The author's comments:

This is my perspective on relationships at this time. As a teenager I've experienced meeting someone new, building an attachment, abandonment, frustration , anger and sadness. Then there's a period of growth and healing. Once you fulfill what you lost, you repeat the circle once again. This creating a habit. Sometimes it feels like you won't get out of that habit. People tend to forget that every person will get out of that. I haven't been fortunate enough to get out of that cycle, but I've been able to stop myself from creating that habit again.
