The Enjoyments Of Being Borderline Poem by Raymond Lewis

My relationships are frequently characterized by instability
Because I am confused by my own vulnerability.
One day I worship my lover beyond measure,
Whenever we are together I’m lost in pleasure.
But then she leaves me stranded all alone
To face a cold world I’ve never known.
This is when my childhood fears are remembered,
Causing me to enter a state where I’m dismembered.
This is when an unfortunate impulse of desire
Allows me to become a very compulsive spender.
Now this is when she notices me
So I decide that suicide is the key.
Unfortunately I didn’t kill myself this time
And I must confront an emptiness sublime.
