You can’t leave, you’re stuck. Stuck on love.

It sucks doesn’t it? You gave it your all but right now you don’t care if it ends.
But you can’t take that first move can you? And she can’t either.
So now there’s two people in a relationship who know deep down “this isn’t working” but they can’t leave.
They just can’t let go.
Not after everything.
This is what we call love today. This infinite pain!

You put on smiles with nice clothes and hold hands.
The world thinks you both look great together. A match made in heaven.

You look over, she’s blushing. You’re blushing too.
She’s beautiful. You love her.

You’re certain you love her.
But if she walks away, you’re also certain you’ll be fine.
A breath of fresh air. Might sting, but still a breath.

So many unspoken words.
Many times a broken heart.

You cuddle your pillow every night even though he’s right there on the bed, next to you.
Why won’t you leave?
What power has glued you to this spot?
There’s no strength in holding on. Not with things that hurt that bad.

You know this.
Yet, you can’t let go.
You’re stuck on love. Or is it the idea of love?
The promises you’d like to fulfil.

Look at you.

A fool for words.
