A Thing Called Love 1/1
He seems perfect.
From the outside he does.
But he is far from it.
When the doors are closed
He becomes someone else.
But I stay.
Why you might ask?
Because I love him,
Simply because of that.
I love him.
There he goes again. Smashing everything we own. Something went wrong. He doesn't say what though.
He came home with a look of defeat on his face which evolved into hate. Hate for those people, hate for his life, and hate for being a failure He's frustrated now. Unsure of how to deal with all these raging emotions, he does the only thing he knows. He breaks anything and everything.
And I stand and watch. My eyes glistening with tears but they don't fall. I'm the strong one, but when did that happen? Was it when Joey died, or when the label dropped him, or maybe it was when the episodes first began. It doesn't really matter.
All I can do now is watch him self-destruct, and when he is down, I pick up the pieces.
"I'm nothing" he yells, collapsing onto the floor. Drained. "I'm nothing" he repeats, starring out into the nothingness of the darken night, in a trance like state.
I kneel beside him and wrap my arm around his shoulder, bringing his head to rest on my chest, soothing him like a little boy.
That's kind of what he is. He's fragile on the inside, but with an illusion that nothing could hurt him, on the outside. But none the less, he is nothing without someone taking care of him, and that someone is me.
He cries now, apologizing for what just happened. Making empty promises regarding his pills, the ones he chose to do without.
I only nod and kiss his head. Tomorrow it'll be the same thing, if not tomorrow the next day and so on. It's a cycle that has no end.
Why don't I leave you ask?
Because I love him,
Simply because of that.
Because I Eleanor Nash

with everything I have.
That's the thing about love
It'll make you do crazy things.
