Yesterday was

the first day

in six years

that we havent talked.

I will remove anyone from my life to protect the peace that I've worked so hard for. Nobody took me out of the dark. I did it on my own.

I hope that one day you will let someone touch your heart as gently and sincerely as I wanted to.

Part of me feels used and discarded. When you outgrew the need for protection, for a buffer, you outgrew me, too. When things began to feel tight, encased and set, you splintered. You broke. You gave up on me and the little pieces of life I could hand you, fragment by fragment. You want more. Youre hungry for it. Im not the thing you need to sustain yourself. Im only a byproduct.
