i knew that my love was unrequited
but i was feeling loved because of you
anxiety and i stayed united
because i can lose me but not you too
a crush, turned limerence, the lines have blurred
your eyes say you want me but your mouths mute
your slip ups are always drunkenly slurred
i’m one for assumptions my mind commutes
i pray, because you’re very dear to me
but i hear God ask me “dearer than i?”
he’s right we’re unequally yoked you see?
and in this aspect for my God i’d die
one freudian slip is all it takes
you won’t be the reason i lose my faith
About the Author
Hello! My name is Jayvion Cunningham, and I’m currently a sophomore double majoring in Psychology with a concentration in Human Development and Film with a concentration in Screenwriting. My career goal is to establish a private practice after I get my master’s as a child and marriage therapist, while also pursuing screenwriting and writing movies on the side. My goal in this series is to delve into the emotional recession individuals experience due to unique circumstances with each piece exploring how specific factors contribute to a decline in their mental health. Every publication will focus on a different aspect of this recession, allowing for a diverse range of stories. I think this topic resonates me and my progression towards my psych degree as it reflects my interest in how mind works when it comes to the aspect of mental health.
