We are so broken,
you and I…
We scream at each other.
We haven’t had
a simple conversation
in who knows how long.
We can’t even be
in the same room together
for any length of time
(unless we’re sleeping)
without arguing.
We are so broken,
you and I…
It is unpleasant for others
to be around us.
It is embarrassing.
With you,
I am on the edge
of anger, always.
You know I love you
and you use it
against me.
You tell me
you don’t feel loved.
Then I don’t feel loved
either
It is a vicious cycle.
We are so broken,
you and I…

Sad fact of life spiraling out of control, my dear friend. I certainly have no answers, I can only say I hate for your life to be so out of control. I truly am.

This too shall pass. Adolescence doesn't last forever. I believe in the power of love to triumph in the end.

It will. Maturity will set in and things will change over night.

"It is a vicious cycle.
We are so broken,"

Cycles are made for breaking...
Sometimes it only takes one to reflect, remember, and be at peace.  Always takes two to tango, that's easy...

Enjoyed the read, the sorrow not so much.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!
