Why do i still long for someone who hurts me?

Author

Today I sit with the anxiety,
The bitter hate growing inside of me.
Why is it that my soul still craves,
The very one who dug my grave?
Who threw me to sharks in life's tempest sea,
Still clinging on to ghosts of what used to be.
I no longer want these feelings anymore,
Dead flowers where love bloomed once before.
Now I simply want to be free,
To salvage what's left of me.

when you say you want to be free, what does that actually look like for you right now, like what would feel even a tiny bit lighter than this?

still craving someone who broke me in ways i didn’t even understand yet, like my heart refused to accept what my mind already knew. that pull back to them… it’s REAL and it messes with you
