Poems of the lost

useless mind games

you really know how to hurt me, huh
pushing all my buttons
using the one I love
to get into my head

i struggle as it is
with anxiety and doubt
with scary thoughts and caring about myself

but that means nothing
when you mess with her

i would go through the darkest places
the deepest waters
struggling not to drown
just to keep her safe

so stop
just stop
and don't mess with us
