Personally, I've been in and have witnessed several unhealthy relationships where both women and men are stuck with someone who pretend to love them.

Reuben has two different styles of poetry. In this one, he tries to use the idea of “less is more”. Since he started on twitter, he had a character limit, which is a huge part of why his poems are so short yet so powerful.
The second style he uses is storytelling. When he writes poetry, sometimes they can extend to two or three pages.

am I
to have someone
who loves me enough
to cry
at the thought
of a life
without me?


jealousy tumbles from
the lips of the sunset and the
heart of the ocean
when they meet your eyes.
birdsong is envious and
music strives to capture the
ability to make you feel
the way your laughter is capable of.
crackling flames 
and the center of the universe
strive to replicate the warmth
you ignite in me.
you surpass even the most
beautiful parts of this world.
you are a walking masterpiece
and you’re all
mine.
