My Own Worst Enemy

I fall in love
I give it my all
So that she’ll stay
It’s my style, so I say

Then somewhere down the line
She gets frustrated
Just needs a little time
Alone without me
I feel like I’ll die

Haven’t I learned yet
How futile it is
To hold on so tight
She slips through my hands

This is a cycle
A vicious one at that
I’m not sure how to break it
So that it can’t break us

I know God can fix it
I wish he would start
To work on me quick
Get me patched up
So I don’t feel so sick

Commentary: Codependence is a sucky place to be. It’s a trap created by our own egos.
