#pulling away

From the most peculiar places,

That take us aback where we need to reflect,

On what truly matters when facing hardship,

Watching as the pain explodes from all different directions,

Keeping those who care about us at arms length,

For they could potentially be the first to betray,

All that you were once led to believe to be good,

Could force you to hide in dark place within your heart...

Perhaps A’s presence dredges up all the pain, fear, and emotional turmoil they all went through for B and all they can think about when they look at A is that horrific event and how much pain A was going through. Maybe B is trying to distance themselves because they’re scared of losing A and think that if they distance themselves from them, it won’t hurt as much if they lose them. Maybe B just doesn’t know how to talk to A after all this happened. Maybe it’s a mix of all these things.
