Masochistic Love

The ties that bind seemed to have

Made a mistake when they bound

The two of us together; or perhaps

It was a dark joke to them to make

Us suffer in the ways that we do.

 

Even from a distance it is clear that

Perhaps we never should have been;

Tears stream down my face from you,

And your anger flares because it’s

Difficult for you to hurt me.

 

But we still can’t seem to stray too

Far from each other; although it

Appears that would be best for both

Of our ever draining sanity. Maybe

It was for that reason we are together.

 

Potentially it was not a mistake for

Us to have our fates intertwined. Fate

Must know that you and I are the only

Ones who could ever understand each

Other and our dark emotional states.

 

Whether it was the ties of cruelty or

The fate of love, we have been placed

Into each other’s lives. Through all the

Tears and bursts of anger, I know that

We were meant to be forever.

This is my first piece in a really long time. Feedback would do me wonders.
