The Cycle Poem by Byantuyo Rahim

Do you enjoy the power you wield,
Keeping me bound, my wounds unhealed?
A cycle of love, where I come back to you,
Only to face the same bitter truth.

I run to you, heart in my hands,
Hoping this time you'll understand.
But you act like I'm nothing, just a fleeting thought,
A love you've never truly sought.

Is it a game, or is it your fear?
Pushing me away when I draw near.
You pull me close, then tear me apart,
Leaving a void deep in my heart.

I'm tired of spinning, caught in your storm,
Chasing a love that feels so worn.
If this is your cycle, I won't stay in place—
I'll break the chain and reclaim my space.

For love is not a cage or a fight,
It's freedom, compassion, and shared light.
And if you can't give what I freely bestow,
I'll walk away, though it pains me so.
