how can a relationship fail?
how can an abstract idea
about two people fail?

isn't it the people
who fail?
what do they fail?

you can fail a test
you can fail to notice
you can fail to act accordingly

but isn't it you who fails?
me who fails
what do we fail?

ourselves - eachother?
our families - our friends?

does one person fail
more than the other?

who failed first?

what is the cost
of failure?

do i get a retake -
for partial credit?

sometimes it's not worth the retake. sometimes you're better off failing in a relationship if success means failing at being a good version of you.

see, and this is the thing. i think that a relationship is an effort to find someone who will help you become a better version of yourself. someone who will support your weaknesses, and whom you can support, and who brings you happiness.

so, some relationships are worth the work, over and over. those that were drawn in blood usually fall under this category, although not always. and some relationships... you're better off if you just can walk away.
