Bliss and Misery | Poetry

Cycle

It starts all warm and bright

And everything is just right

I think I've found perfection

We share a deep connection

I see their pain, their storms

I wrap them in all my warmth

I give them all I have, my heart

We never spend too long apart

Months pass, they show their flaws

A few days pass and my anger thaws

The cycle repeats every other week

I don't speak out, I feel too meek

I just bottle everything up

"Everything alright?" "Yup"

And then I break, I scream

Rage to the very extremes

And then they shout back

Say things that crack

My heart, and it crumbles

My mind, and it tumbles

And then I have to leave

Alone once more to grieve

Whose sword was first drawn?

Doesn't matter when it's gone

I've gained and lost many, many friends over time. Sometimes we just drifted apart, or sometimes it was an angry, explosive end. Maybe it was my fault, maybe it was theirs. But we always move on, find someone else, and then the cycle repeats. And quite honestly, I'm sick of it. All I want is for someone to come along and break the cycle, stay by my side forever, but the chances of that happening are low, at least for a few more years. But I do believe that some day I will break that cycle and make lasting bonds
