Codependent Poems

by green blueCodependent. That’s what we said. We said we are codependent on each other. We talked for hours each day. we never ran out of stuff to talk about. Until. Until you decided that I was too much. Until you decided that talking to me was a burden which you can’t endure anymore. Until I became the person you ignore.

A surge of happiness takes over my body. A glimmer of hope curbs the emptiness you’ve been leaving behind. At that moment I realize your hold over me. I realize how much control you have over my feelings and… I hate you for it. This was never the way we agreed it would be. This should be mutual. This should be you on the other end jumping on the phone to text me cause you know I’m right here waiting for your text so I can have my fix. Yes you are my drug.

I realize only one of us is dependent. Codependent my ass.
