Avoidant Attachment Poem by Za7ra Sulaiman

I made you think that I would always stay,
I said some things that I should never say.
Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine,
And now you won't love me for a second time.
I don't know why I run away.

The words I spoke, they cut like a knife,
Slicing through the trust we built, our shared life.
I promised forever, then turned and fled,
Leaving you alone, with tears unshed.

The pain I caused, it's a burden I bear,
Knowing I betrayed the love we once shared.
I wish I could go back, erase what I've done,
But the damage is done, and the race has been run.

Why did I run, when I should have stayed?
Was I so afraid of the price that love made?
I long for your touch, your embrace once more,
But the door you once opened, now closed forevermore.

I don't know why I run away,
But I hope one day, you'll find it in your heart to stay.
To give me another chance, to make amends,
And let our love, once broken, be mended again.
