Codependent

Your disposition cycles like the abiding moon
I am the powerless tides you pull
They condemn it as codependency, but who am I to deny this force
My strength does not rival the ocean, and even she submits
Moods intertwined like passionate bodies
Or barbed wire
Your tenacious grasp decides for me 

Feel love, and I will revel it it, blooming under your allowing hand
Feel hate, I will be entombed in it, gagging on the bitter dirt

Do you comprehend the blows you are capable of dealing? 
Do you recognize the elation you have the power to grant? 
I follow closely behind like an adoring child 
Yearning for your satisfaction
Vying with your discontent 
A merciless journey I am unable to withdraw from 
An endless feud that refuses to cease
