Escape Reality

She made me realize why hurricanes are named after people.

You told me I was just like her. The last girl whose heart you broke. But there is one important difference. She is more forgiving than I. And unlike her, I will never take you back.

“You’ve already ruined all of your chances.”

[shatteredsolitude-blog]

Whenever you talk about

The way things used to be

You only speak sad words

And never mad words

Around me

Or around him

But I know

The way you tell everyone else

How you were the one who was wronged

How you were the victim

But maybe you should look more carefully

And try to grow up

Take responsibility for your part

For you are not innocent

You’re the one that chased him away

You’re the one that makes them dislike you

You’re the one that manipulates

You’re the one that insults

You’re the one that left first

You’re the one that begged me back

You’re the one that vilified me

You’re the one that wanted attention

Yet you claim you never

Did anything wrong

And everyone leaves you

For no reason at all

But there’s always a reason

So you’re lying to yourself

And to everyone else

About being the only one who was hurt

You say that you’re the victim

But honey,

If you were

You wouldn’t act like this

You say that you still care

But honey,

If you did

You wouldn’t act like this

You are not innocent.

I want to stop thinking about him all the time.I want to stop missing people who don’t exist anymore.You’re using me, yet I’m still in love with youSometimes I wish I never fell in love with you.Am I in love with you, or with your words?Do you think with your soul, or with your wound?

Do not fall in love with me. Do not touch me like I’m a porcelain doll. Do not look at me with pity in your eyes, For I will leave you before you can even learn my middle name. Do not ask where my scars came from. Their stories take time and when the night comes where I can’t breath because I fucked up again, do not act like you understand For I do not understand myself. Do not, whatever you do, fall in love with me, For I am a wild mess, running free from the chains of society. I know heartbreak all too well and the walls around my heart are laced with barbed wire and my shirts are bloody at the hems. But no matter what, Do not leave me sad. Do not leave me alone or confused. Do not let me fall in love with you, For I will no longer be strong because love will blind me.

Why is it so hard for me to get over you when you were never mine to begin with?

-I’ve always wanted what I can’t have.

I have gotten to the point I have always tried to avoid. It’s past midnight and instead of craving sleep, I’m only craving you. Why did I let it get to this?

When I tell you that I always, Ruin everything that I love, You tell me that's not true. But it is. Because I will shred the things I love, Until there is nothing left, But tiny, Irreparable, Irreplaceable, Pieces. Because that's the only way, To truly know, That they can never come back, To hurt me.

And I don’t know, don’t know if we belong together or apart, except that my soul lingers over the skin of you and I wonder if I’m ruining all we had, and had not.

I envy you. Because caring less means leaving first. And that’s something I’ll never be able to do.

I think it’s interesting how when I’m doing the most everyday tasks—washing the dishes, petting the cat, folding the laundry—I find that my mind tends to wander. And although it might wander to a new though in the beginning, eventually it always ends up back in a familiar place. Back to memories of hair of pale gold, eyes of raw sapphires, a laugh as deep but gentle as the ocean. Back to you

And I will just stay in my bed all morning listening to my own heart beat as it aches. You don’t love me, but I love you. And as much as I wish I could, I don’t think I can be okay with that.

Honestly I just wanted you to put me first. To leave her and say I was worth it. You were the only guy I thought would ever put me first and you chose not to. Now I know I’ll always be second to everyone.

There are human beings in this world who are soft enough to feel every terrible thing that happens so deeply. And are still brave enough to remain constant and suffer for those who need them the most.

It feels as though someone is standing on my chest and I swear with every breath it’s getting harder to breathe and you are the only thing that lets the air into my lungs. You are the only thing that lets me breathe again.

Ever since I met you, no one else has been worth thinking about.

The truth is complicated. It’s two-toned, multi-vocal, bittersweet. I used to think that if I dug deep enough to discover something sad and ugly, I’d know it was something true. Now I’m trying to dig deeper.
