I'm still your favorite regret

I feel like I should have never told you that I loved you. Because once I did, you left and now I'm picking up the pieces of my heart off the ground like the discarded wings plucked from a butterfly. Yet here I am... still loving you...dreaming. Because to me, it was real, it was rare, and it was mine.

All this glory you did not earn Every lesson you did not learn You will drown in an endless sea If it's blood that you want from me You can empty my arteries⁠⁠⁠⁠

“I was so afraid of hurting their feelings that I forgot that they could hurt mine too. And now that they have, I wonder if I’ve truly been alone all this time—I’ve just been too blind to see it.”
