#failed relationships

[cherryxxxpurr]

They enjoy the idea of you and what you had to offer but they don’t love you for who you are nor care for what you needed.

[catsanddaydreams]

I wonder when it changed.

When I started doing the bare minimum and calling it enough.

Occasionally checking in, asking questions with no real intention behind them.

Guilt lifting off my shoulders each time I performed.

How are you?

Fine.

What are you up to?

Nothing much.

How was your day?

Okay.

I didn't ask because I cared, I hadn't cared for months.

I followed the dance of love, a routine I knew every step to.

Cold and calculated.

I ignore the truth I realized long ago.

We aren't what we used to be and will never be that for each other again.

At some point I stopped asking altogether.

You've never complained, always taking the bits of myself I offer to you.

Is it me I offer?

Or simply a ghost of who I was for you?

A shadow

A memory

Do you respond? Do you love?

Do I love?

What is love if not the fear of being alone?

Are you afraid of being alone?

I know how I would answer if you truly reached out again.

How are you?

Numb.

What are you up to?

Missing what we once were.

How can we find our way back to each other?

But you don't ask, and neither do I.

{Original quote by Jorge Luis Borges}

[ateenageloveaffair]

I’ve never really been good with relationships. I’ve had three major ones and they’ve all ended really badly. I’ve always thought they were the problem but I think I’ve finally realised it’s me. I’m toxic. I can’t do relationships. I don’t know how to communicate and I shut people out. I don’t know how to share my inner thoughts with somebody. Maybe because my inner demons know they wouldn’t understand or maybe it’s just simple… I am toxic and deserve to be alone in the world?

I’ve put a lot into this, so I’m not going to leave just yet. But I’m not fighting for it anymore. If we drown, it’s because you pulled us under.
