Destruction

Maybe we were supposed to destroy each other.
At the start- so innocent, so calm, it was as though we were slipping slowly into water.
Your love and reassurance became a drug I had never tasted before, never experienced, and I was hooked. All I wanted was to be close to you.
I kept taking.
And taking.
And asking for more.
I didn't realize you had nothing left to give.
Fitting isn't it? To destroy what is holding you together, what you know you need.
And then you destroyed us both.
Swiftly.
Maybe we were supposed to destroy each other.
A girl, unaware of what she had.
A boy, too dependent on what he didn't need.
We ripped it to shreds so we could both begin again.
