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

Stockholm Syndrome

So I will stay with you

Because leaving feels 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 violated me

Or how you manipulate me

You hurt me

…But this is not abuse…

Relationships are difficult 

Highs and lows are inevitable

Pleasure and pain are one in the same 

And contrary to what they say 

You are not a threat 

I just need to give it time 

To give you time 

To learn how to love you

So you can love me 

You do love me

And you need me

And you’re not the only one to blame 

I’m stubborn and I also have a temper

My tantrums are provocative

And my anger? Explosive!

And besides, the make up sex is great

Fire! Like The-Dream’s Falsetto 

Ecstasy! A premonition of what could be

A beautiful fantasy!

So I will stay with you

Clinging to you 

To the hope and promises of change 

And the delusions that this bondage 

I mean that this bond… is true
