push or pull

is it selfish of me

not pushing you away

or it it ok

if you choose to stay

is it so wrong for me

to want my way

inconsiderate, unhealthy,

a disaster coming to play

do i push upon others

the chaos i impose

am i consciously aware

of the dangers i behold

is it up to the other

to remain forever trapped

bound to my maddness

without an easy way out

how am i to see

what the future has in store

if i stand alone in fear

unwilling to open the door

to make a stand

one must change

the actons they portray

through out every day

maybe the advice i give

should be taken to heart

because the only way i can make a change

is to first make a start

Author's Notes/Comments: 

i wrote this poem in the mix of a relationship that i knew should end but the other person wanted to weather out the storm. it explains my questions about whether or not to continue the relationship or to end it and save the other (and myself) the pain that was soon to come.
