15/F / i'm only alive because of the sweet torture of words \
i understand it now when they say falling in love. for me, it was more of a plunge from a building onto the bustling street. it was not intentional, i did not have plans to love you. but that's the funny thing. who really plans to jump from a buidling onto a distant street without planning to feel pain and then nothing?

you, i love
please, you have to understand, this isn't me. i am not my mood swings, i am not my fear of talking on phones. please, you have to understand, this isn't me. i am not my depressive episodes, i am not my medications i must take. please, you have to understand, this isn't me. i am not my fear of eating, i  am not my fear of being replaced or ignored. understand, i am not my depression. understand, i am not my anxiety. understand, i am not my PMDD. understand, i am not my BPD. understand, i am not my eating disorder. please, you have to understand, this is me. i am my love of cats, and i am my admiration of everything musical. please, you have to understand, this is me. i am a lover of stationery, and i am a lover of every single living creature. please, you have to understand, this is me. i am one who eats one too many brownies, and i am one who cares for the entirety of the environment. please, see past my mental disorder(s). see the real me, not just the chemistry in my brain. please, see my lust for life. see me beating stereotypes, see me being me.

please, you have to understand.
you caught my eye   you made me like you     you made me fall in love with you       you took my love as a simple perk of life         you used me and beat me down           you robbed me of love for anyone else or myself             you killed the happy person inside of me               you made me numb inside                 you made me feel like i deserved nothing but sadness                   you may not love me anymore but i certainly still do                     i still love you                       i know it's not healthy for me to love you                         i know i need to stop                           i know but i can't                             i can't                           i can'                         i can                        i ca                       i c                     i

i know
You can ignore me, but remember that you once loved me. Yes, it hurts me sometimes, but then I remember what you've done. Taking screenshots of my loyal love, and making fun of me for my feelings. Thinking my heart was just a pawn, a pawn in a board game that you'll forget about. This bitterness against you isn't me being a crazy ex girlfriend, it's me being human and having feelings. I just don't understand how you could tell me that you loved me, but leave me for the girl whom you told me you couldn't stand, and do this all in one day.

I'm More Human Than **You**
Month one gave me the butterflies Love songs were relevant Soft words were exchanged, not cowardly lies I was petrified to lose you. Month two was more comfortable. Love songs were a hit or miss We spoke with only loving voices I was petrified to lose you. Month three, I became fully comfortable, you became distracted Love songs were my favorite, but they were your enemy I spoke with loving voices, you didn't speak at all I was skeptical Month four, I was aware of everything Love songs were just songs We only talked over text I knew what was going to happen Month five, I was just arm candy so you didn't look like a loser Love songs made me sick I talked, you lied I didn't face the facts Month six, I let you go Love songs were never sang or played I deleted your number I'm confused without you Month seven, you came back with a "You Up?" text I only played sad songs I looked at my phone with sorrow You broke me Love is a slippery slope, isn't it? Five months, that's all You showed me love And you showed me heartbreak Should I thank you for that?
