#let downs

If I let myself believe is over then it truly is over..and if I do that..there is no coming back..

how do i let someone down easy?

Better to be honest. Don't use a soft break up if you don't mean it. Dont say "we can be friends" if you don't mean it. Don't say "maybe someday" if you don't mean it.

ANY little opening you leave will be an invitation to hope and hope where there is no hope is a terrible thing when it comes to break up.

A forward truth might hurt worse right away BUT will speed healing and recovery because firm closure is the best gift you can give someone.

Easy is only easy on you. I know it is much hard to just say "I am breaking up with you. I don't want a relationship with you or I am not happy and I need to break up with you so we can both find a better match" BUT that firmness and clarity will be a kindness.

You don't need to start listing all her faults or be cruel. If she persists in know specifically why, you can be vague or specific just try not to be petty or mean.

I think what leads to disappointment and feeling hurt is the fact that we expect people to behave as we would in a given situation, and then when they don’t, it becomes a hard pill to swallow.

I really need you to make me feel loved.

skip out of here, unnoticed

There is no mind left inside this hollowed out soul. There is a poet on the rooftop of my mind singing songs,  unknowingly kissing something inside himself with a feather of truth. I’m not sure why these things always cascade into bigger storms until there are tidal waves and twisters and the end of the world is near. It’s not that near if you think about the end, and how it will happen as you stand on the side of the road wondering why you didn’t get on the boat with everyone else. Now there are storms. Now God is watching again and we have to be good  if we want to be saved, but with habits this bad there’s no saving me,  not this time. I don’t remember the blackout on the mountain where no one could believe how far I’d fallen. I wept at his feet and he kept on standing while I crept along the edge out of sight, hoping no one would see my desperation, how young I am inside even though my body is tired with age, even though my bones ache and I don’t care as much as I used to about anything. I just need to let my mind go, let it rewind to those days when our feet touched in socks and that was electric enough to make us smile. We were so simple then, such shadows of who we are now. Those elegant shadows were nothing then, but today we are something even though it feels like we’re dragging around too much baggage, we are ready to start leaving it behind, leaving a trail of knots and scales back to where I became the slutty, piece of shit human that I am. Where could I have turned back time? Where could I have gone the right way instead of the wrong? They’ve seen the real me. They know what I am. I hide in the shadows on the dark side, where no one is looking. I hope to skip out of here unnoticed, not having to talk to anybody.
