A Web of What-Ifs

A safety net weaved from a sticky web

I thought you were the safety net
Turns out I needed safety from you
You took my breath away
And kept me up at night
You invaded my mind and
Entangled me in a web of what-ifs

It’s time to let go of what if
And make a what is
It’s time to stop spinning the web
Of a false narrative
And be in the now of us

It’s time to cut the net
I don’t need a safe landing
I can’t save myself from
Feeling my feelings

But, I can love you

If, I want to

Because I love myself more than I love you.
