Closure: Pt.2

I clutch 

I hold 

I cling

I grasp

I linger

I strangle

I held on for too long

I held you too close

Before you even started to pull away

I gave you too much value

Dependant for my sanity 

In a land of disquietude  

I dragged you with me, even though I was lost there

I ignored the reasons for this state

And focused on you

Thought that you would be able to plan the escape

Projected all the insecurities of my world on you

With the conviction that you no longer loved me

Before you actually stopped loving me

So I held you

I held you close

Afraid of what a pessimistic mind imagines

Believed so hard in what my mind created it physically hurt 

A constant pain in my chest

With every breathe it was there

Then, you loved me

I held you, You embraced me

The pain would not subside

It caused me to implode

You would have been collateral damage

You let go to, to save yourself

Then, you loved me

Now, you’ve stopped

I am still holding 

The only thing I have left 

A notion of you

This was a painful enough read for me and quite relatable too. You have laid out the emotions well.
That feeling of being thought of as being loved and then to be left alone is hard enough to accept..

I really liked this piece! Well penned! 👍
