Clingy

 I want to be a better person.

But it is hard when you demand to be in my life.

I want to walk on clouds and be light,

but your dark cloud inserts itself.

I do what I can,

create space between the land and sea.

Somehow your waves still crash on my shore

drowning, breaking me.

I want to be who I know I am.

I want to sparkle and float within the sky.

But there you are,

once again, 

a blind spot, fleck of dust in my eye.

The darkness brought within me,

the storm I create.

Is not who I want to be, I do not want to be fueled by hate.

But how do I separate myself,

when you stick to my side?

How do you play hide and seek, when you aren't allowed to hide?
