trauma bonding


like doctor-prescribed vitamins

i missed to take you in, Thursday Morning,

while in a hurry to sit on endless


dreams

of escaping senseless work


i kissed you in a passionless jerk

before i left today to reassure

blind adoration

You love bomb me with affection

i weep and wish for true protection -

medicine to control the anger and hate (in you)


as the lunatic in me is always au fait on other people's lame lives


thinking

how they wish they were this high, too

they down a brew of lies, Thursday Morning, as i pass by

the corner cafe along that woeful familiar avenue


i exude improbable content

The only perk of wanting something this Bad (of a relationship)

but not letting go?

The comfort of dumb convenience
