Anxious attachment

A weight on my chest

A constant worry, a never-ending test

The fear of losing, the need to cling

A desperate longing, a painful thing

My heart races, my mind in a haze

The slightest distance, a thousand ways

To interpret and overanalyze

To feel rejected, to fantasize

About the worst, that could come to be

If my love decides to leave me

My insecurity, a never-ending storm

A fear that's real yet feels so forlorn

I long for closeness, yet push away

The contradiction, a price I pay

For the anxious attachment that I bear

A burden heavy, a cross to bear

And yet I hope, for a love that's strong

That can endure, that can belong

A love that can calm my anxious heart

And heal the wounds that tear me apart

So I hold on, to hope and faith

To the belief that love can be safe

That anxious attachment can be healed

And love, once more, can be revealed.
