The Irony

This relationshipping ting

can have you seeming demented.

You’ll need a heart

to have, and to take

for you to love; for you to persevere.


This relationshipping ting,

splinters that one thing it needs most

yet banks on you moving forward.

So you do.

With it in fragments, sharply edged.


This relationshipping ting

finally has you cold, emotionally unavailable

but it’s for the better.

Because whatever love you have left to give

You’d rather give it to yourself.
