You know.... It's really rough when your life drastically changes. It gets worse when someone you cared about, completely goes back on their word... And you find that they end up being a hypocrite, after months upon years of them telling you "they would never do this, never do that".
But they do it anyway. They tell you...
“I would not do anything that hurt you. I won’t leave you. I want to be with you.” and et cetera. And you just end up driving the knife further in.
Your “Mr. Fix-it” complex went into overdrive, when you found out you were depressed. You just wanted to feel better. I wanted to help you feel better. I stuck with you. I cared about you. I put everything I had into it. For you. I’ve made mistakes, yes. But I didn’t ignore them. I did my best to fix them.
And you tried your best to fix your own.... but I guess you thought I was a mistake..... 2 years, it took you to realize. That’s 2 valentines days.. 2 Christmases. 4 birthdays. 24 months. 730 Days. 17,520 hours. 1,051,200 minutes. 63,072,000 seconds.
Even when we fought, I valued every second of it. You said you did too. You said you wanted to be single for a while.... work on yourself. I accepted it. So we took a break.
But now, you’re with someone more broken than you. Someone who was institutionalized, for a bit. And you decided that you and that someone where more...... compatible. You could be broken together. What happened to working on yourself? What the hell is wrong with you?....
I did everything you asked of me, and this is what I get. A heart broken, A car packed, and a trip to a house where I don’t feel at home. I used to sleep in a white room, with clothes strewn everywhere, with you. Now I sleep in a yellow room, with blankets that smell like tears. Alone. You took that away from me.
And the worst part of all of this is that I still love you. I’m always going to support you, even if I think you are a lying hypocrite of a fool who once again proved what I had tried to hide away, deep down.
That I shouldn’t get attached to anyone. Because they will always leave, either willingly or forcefully. But I thought you were different. You made me genuinely happy. But all that is for naught, if you don’t feel the same.
I used to wake up at 6, Start work at 8, go home at 5, and then come home to you, and sleep next to you at 10 or 11... Each night I slept more soundly than I did before, with exception of our worst nights.....
Now, I wake up at 6. Start work at 8 End work at 5. Play video games at 7, and go to sleep at 2. Because collapsing from exhaustion is better than trying to sleep earlier, but I just end up crying myself to sleep every night.
I’ve become accustomed to hating you. and hating myself.
I hate myself for still loving you, even though you hurt me in a way that’s less preferable to death.
But being six feet under wouldn’t allow me to play videogames.... so I guess I’ll stick around for now.
