Exploring things of significance to me (Non-poetic.)

Stockholm Syndrome

So I will stay 
Because leaving feelings like failure
Like loss of a love I am yet to know
A love I’ve been longing for

Your sweet nothings 
Are proof enough
They make me forget the times you hurt me
Violate and manipulate me

…But this is not abuse…

Lows are inevitable
Pleasure and pain go together 
And you’re not neglecting me 
You know how I can be sometimes
You just need time away from me 
To refill your cup 

And the highs are electric 
Fire! Like The-Dream’s Falsetto 
Ecstasy! A premonition of what could be
A beautiful fantasy!

So I will stay
Clinging to you 
To the hope and promise of change 
And the illusion that our bond is true
