People Like Us

 

People like us are attracted to toxic people.

We have kind, fragile hearts that can be easily broken when passed along to shaky hands.

Loving hard and enduring large amounts of pain.

Days past and energies are released stronger than the day before.

The need/desire to love and be loved.

Nights embracing one another

Passionate love making

Intimate goal sharing

How did it end as quickly as it began?

 

 

 

 

(Where/why did you go?)

 

 

 

People like us are attracted to toxic people.

Always giving more then we receive.

Not realizing that the love is mostly -------> one directional with the people we finally decide to give

Our hearts to.

Love turns to hate

Hate lures us to stay…so seductive…so demanding...so planned to perfection…

THEY NEED TO REMEMBER HOW MUCH HATE THEY CAUSED US!

so we stay

we forget how to love

so HATE paves the way.
