codependence

by reminiscent-afterthought

Maybe their relationship wasn't healthy, but it was what it was and ultimately it worked. And it couldn't get much better when two kids are left to live with their own devices.

codependence

1.

You call yourself the devil's
advocate, but in truth
you dragged yourself
into the light
and let me hide

And I let myself hide
in the shadows.

I'd be ungrateful otherwise
even though I could:
the flower that can grow fine
with the weeds, even though
they've got a beautiful, clean
bed of soil.

I could be a prickly bush
but I'll be the pretty rose.
