Why
Why must we bend for those who won’t hold fast to their promises to us? Why do we accept a love that doesn’t fulfill us when we need it? Why do we continue to struggle to hold onto someone who doesn’t want us? As much as we love them, bending until we break, silently crying out for release from the tension, we know we can’t keep it up.
The facade that we are alright. The lie that holds our pieces together. It’s always easiest to make adjustments. Rather than face the potential for pain, we choose to bend until we snap and become useless. But we do it, time and time again. Why?
We may never know. Perhaps we simply choose to be loved the only way we think we can. By changing and morphing to fit their needs. By trying so hard to become what they want, that we lose ourselves. But it’s for love. Isn’t it?
