A Never-Ending Cycle


I'm done.

YOU SCREAM

I can't run,

YOU tear apart the seam.

 

I'm back.

YOU LAUGH,

I can't wait to unpack.

YOU are my other half.

 

I'm guilty.

YOU LIE,

I feel filthy,

YOU can't seem to say goodbye.

 

You're mad.

I CRY,

You shed alligator tears, so sad.

I keep inside the reasons why.

 

You're green

I YELL

You bash my face clean,

I know it's not ending well.

 

You're here,

I'm there,

We're fun.

Let's try again, until "us" is truly done.
