21 pt 1


All this time i thought we Were playing childhood games. You were the husband And i was the wife, tending To all the loving children we Bore together. We knew This was all make believe . We knew it was all just, well, Temporary. And after Our paths had seperated, I thought it was ok. Because After all, i did not love you. And now i am sitting here, Two in the morning, crying Those tears i thought id Never see again. I do not Know what it is about your Pain, that i so desire to assuage, But i feel it burning in my Chest. Suddenly i recognize What it is like to be so Deeply infatuated with another Human being, that youre Willing put their mental Health before your own. So now, even though Its deteriorating me ever so Slightly to be your superman, I stay. I stay because youre My kryptonite. And youre Worth losing my strength over. Because even though you Stopped being infatuated with Me, im still in love with you.
