Clingy

I don't know how to keep going for myself.
Every time I fall in love, I hang on to them.
I picture our wedding, our house, our kids.
And you know what?
I'm not seeing our future.
I'm seeing theirs.
I am never there with them.
I can never see myself.
I never realized this before.
I always keep living for our future together.
And when they leave, I am on the brink of death.
Even after I have let go of my clingy ideas,
I can never see a future for myself.
This is why I latch onto people,
And hang on so hard I appear toxic at first glance.
I'm not toxic.
I'm just scared.
