No One Understands

What am I doing (I wonder)
as the voice on the other end
says I should let him fail,
fall and leave him to
work it out on his own.

I ponder the reality of the situation
knowing if I let him fail,
I fail too   and so
the co-dependency continues,
mostly on these shoulders right now.

It's not as others think.
He's not a mean, hateful person
as some would like to believe.
I allowed my life
to be turned upside down and
inside out over these last years.


They always say it takes two
to make a marriage
and two to destroy one, but
sometimes it's more than just that.

Sometimes reasons are hidden,
masks are worn
and one never knows when
they will rise to destroy.

I can only control my own actions...
feelings are another story.

M

Maureen...Very telling write. Your feelings of what if ring loud and clear. Almost like a child taking their first steps, we are always afraid to let them go competely, so our hands act as training wheels for them, until they make it on their own...Paul

Even the most empathetic person cannot know the totality of your situation. Not even those closest to you will ever fathom the depths of your co-dependent relationship. But for what it is worth, there are some who can relate to the intense feelings you are experiencing, and in our own way, understand. It's never easy to let go, especially when the other person falling apart is basically kind. (Paul's words were perfect.)

Our actions are a whole lot easier to control, than our feelings.
