Green mist

[Se****]

Stealthily, deliberately it creeps upon me, 

So slowly I fail to notice it in the periphery.

Too late, it’s crept in.

I wonder if this time I will win,

I wonder if this time will be different.

Or will I be forever bound

in the green ropes of its stranglehold.

I notice the nuanced changes,

I feel the difference and the indifference.

The tone, the words, the time, the energy.

I notice the attention to others

and the lack thereof for me.

The green mist is a known entity,

the green mist means I care.

But, it controls me when it shouldn’t.

It isn’t the control I seek,

It isn’t the control I crave.

Open, honest communication.

I yearn for it, I want to ask, I want to talk.

But how do I do that without being too much?

How do I ask for what I don’t deserve?

How do I let him know it hurts,

when he cares for others over me.

The green mist knows me,

It knows I’m too much,

It knows I’m not enough.

Can I save myself,

Or will he be the one to set me free?

He doesn’t believe in jealousy,

but I know the green mist in me. 
 

Love,

Very good!

That's sad. I've felt the same but you should really tell the person what you feel, it won't get better on its own

There’s really no point. I get what you’re saying and I agree but in this instance discussing it will be of no use - it’s better to walk away.

That's a hard one to do, I wish you the strength for walking away. I think the worse part is the grieving afterwards but you're right it's worth it
