Still in Love?

My man is my best friend, but I don't know if I'm in love with him anymore;
After all the times he has brought the cops to my door.
We are quite twin schizophrenics at peace or at war;
Sometimes, I do not know what my heart is for.
I am quite sick of our opposite attitudes;
And, I guess, sometimes he shows me gratitude.
I don't know what I would do without him;
But, I know that in my heart and soul, I doubt him.
He's good and evil just like me;
And, oftentimes, we disagree.
On the outside, I love him; on the inside, I hate him;
But, I do not wish to debate him.
I have to stay because I love our kitties;
Without them, life would truly be shitty.
So, I am really quite at odds;
Because my man is a schizophrenic fraud.
I guess I will have to stay;
And keep it a secret that I don't love him in any way.
For, he is the only way my soul will survive;
Because, if I live alone, my life does not thrive.
I was ready to kill myself today;
For all of the horrible things he would say.
Whomever reads this, give me your opinion;
For, this is a horrible household of conflicting dominion.

The greatest chains are

The greatest chains are emotional. The lock on them is silence and secrecy. If you've reached suicidal thoughts, things have gone too far. It may be hard, you may feel it's impossibly devastating, but on the other side of it is a better life. Love yourself, you are all the reason you need to be alive, and a magnet to love you will be in your new place. Love will come back to you, perhaps in old forms but certainly in new forms. Life is worth it. Your life is worth it. And, no matter how difficult and how much it may push you to your limits, you'll get there if you open the lock and go.
