Hearts & Heartache

Relationships (Acrostic Poem)

- Relationships,
have always been chaotic and destructive for
me,
even before I was conceived.

- Evidentially,
the relationship with my blood relatives,
is the root of all of my nightmares.

- Look very closely at the words that I've already
written,
notice how I didn't say family?

- Anxiety,
borderline personality disorder,
depression,
and post traumatic stress disorder.

- That's what I inherited from them.

- Imagine reaching 25,
and never experiencing a love that's genuine or reciprocated.

- Only experiencing abandonment,
false promises,
and heartbreak.

- Now it's 12 months down the line,
and damn has my luck changed.

- See,
I've met my soul mate,
a woman that reminds me what love is
supposed to feel like.

- Her very presence,
is enough to stop my anxious mind from
attacking my broken body.

- In the midst of 2 traumatic decades,
showing me that love is not universal,

- Praying every day,
that one day someone would enter my life,
take a look at all of my flaws,
and embrace the very darkness that I try to hide.

- She came into my life,
and saved me.
