2. Idealisation and devaluation

A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation. (DSM-5)

Life comes in shades

Life comes in shades

But I rarely recognise.

The world as I see it

Is either black or white.

Bright days can shine

During daytime.

But as sure as sundown comes

Night absorbs light,

reciting mad tounges.

Are you my best friend

Or quite to close, yet?

Is this a helping hand

Or another painful threat?

Today I may love

Anyone I think of.

When at once out of the blue,

Without apparent reason,

I hate them, too.
