Jim

romance gone sour

He is
Like fingernails
That grew
so long
Twisted

And all overnight. I
woke up.
and couldn't use my hands
anymore

dragging
useless things.

twisting down.
spiraling into nothing and
pulling me down with them.

Everything I do hurts
and I am running into
the same walls.

Again and again
and again.

And I still want him.

oh! that sounds so bad, not the poem that's great but the experience must have been so desperately sad, its good you made this work from it, turn negative into positive I say and it becomes work like this, brilliant.

like fingernails. that's good.

I can relate to the "dragging useless things" part completely. I like the fact that this poem is so simple but still is a strong read emotionally.
Thanks for sharing.

I don't think I have read one with a boy compared to fingernails before. Very unique and it read like a dream. It is so hard to get out of toxic relationships, even when we know they have gone bad, we still strive to make it work.
