A Held-Over Engagement (The Story of Co-Dependency)

Sliding  in  and  out  of  realities ,  needing  to  be  needed  constantly
Forced  and  Current  in  Modality,  performed  in  Songs  of  Pain  Sustained
Sung  in  torrential  downpours  of  Reigning  Reality  in  what  is  Sought
Emotional  stains  blot  roads  overly  travelled,  better  yet  still   stalked
As  we  both  waited   for  freedoms  call,  not   listening  to  what  need  2b
Chained  to  a  relationship  of  prolonging, captivated  in  security  of  mundane
Longing  for  recognition  o f  not  belonging, sharing  the  same  of  difference  wanting
Scared  to  be  labeled  as  giving  up,  as  giving  in  to  inadequacy characteristic
Perpetually  codependent  on  an  endless  ending  giving  light  to  new  beginnings
Guilty  driven  and  riddled  in  false  sins  of  fault  findings  and  blame  riding
Upholding  a   union,  fearful  of  God’s  Decree  of  remanding, soul  searching  solidarity
But  most  of  all  God’s  Sees  we  are  not  happily  ever  after  and  will  never  be
Yet  and   still  we  remain  a  pair,  swearing  in  prayer,  to  never  be  the  One  of  Two
Not  to  abandon  a   united  front  of  servitude, we  cannot   fathom  gratitude
Waiting  for  the  day  of  demise  of  one  of  our  lives,  leaving  no  need  at  all
Believing  wrongly  to  this  being  key   to  set  us  free,  yet  trapped  and  still
Meanwhile  not   nurturing  but  killing  spirit  presently,  tormented  in  needs  of  victory
Blaming  one  another  aimlessly…….Love  is  misplaced  in  constant  complacency
Taking  for  granted  the  gift  of  choice  and  demanding  truth  of  birthrights…….
An  end  to  this  too  long  held  over  engagement , but  still  attending
Ensuring  generations  of  woefully  repetitive  training,  maintaining  false  needing
As  our  sons  and  daughters  of  subsequent  tribes  are  con -templating
Thriving  in  the  prison  of  unbroken  and  unrealized  lives  performance
Not  wanting  or  willing  to  break  a  chain  of  unrelated  events
If  only  we  would  have  stop  to  temporarily  hurt  untrue  feelings
Calling  out  and  addressing  our  overplayed  codependent  engagement
Sliding  in  and  out  of  realities ,  needing  to  be  needed  constantly
Forced  and  Current  in  Modality,  performed  in  Songs  of  Pain  Sustained
Sung  in  torrential  downpours  of  Reigning  Reality  in  what  is  Sought
Emotional  stains  blot  roads  overly  travelled,  better  yet  still   stalked

Scared  to  be  labeled  as  giving  up,  as  giving  in  to  inadequacy characteristic
