apology
Who the hell do you think you are? Just waltzing in like Jesus forgiving people all willy nilly! I wronged you... I broke your heart... i remember that day when i left. you were fairly well composed... i wouldn't dishonor you by saying you begged or anything... but i know you cried! i was there!!! you know how hard it was to leave anyways!!! We were going in opposite directions i knew it was the best thing to do for both of us... i was leaving for college. you were still to be in highschool for 3 more years...i couldnt make you wait for me...it was a sound decision... and so i left... it needed to be done...and then distance...i put geographic miles between us because i loved you i tore out my own heart for you! / and all i needed from you in return was for you to hate me...was that really so unreasonable...i mean i broke your heart some time ago... is a little disdain too much to ask... i mean i can deal with a person hating me for what ever reason... but you simply understand why i left and forgive me... i mean time heals all wounds but shit a little residual dislike? maybe even a if given the option i wouldn't share a meal with this person...this is rubbish... / i mean...i close my eyes and i still see you crying... and i caused a great deal of those tears...and i haven't really decided to forgive myself for those tears... and in an effort to somewhat make up for what i did... i apologize... and you just say apology accepted...

I should have known better... / I should have known better than to think you would be the same girl i fell in love with so long ago... / Some of the most basic texts for an an intro biology class could have told me that each and every one of

We're done here i cannot carry you around with me anymore... / At least not like this... / Not in the form of guilt for tearing us apart so long ago...

gunna go make a blog
I think I am bad at writing poetry... / unless poems can be a literal retelling of past events... / add a bit more colorful language and some metaphors...

Hold on...
It might have been simplest to end it before it began but we are well past that point. / And we could have gotten out before anyone gets hurt but that prospect is at best unlikely. / Perhaps we can still get out of this alive...

I am okay...
It was very kind of you to ask how I am holding up all things considered... / The short answer is that I am okay. / I do not hunger nor do I have thirst... I am warm...and other than the usual aches and discomfort that we all experience I am not in pain...

inane ramblings
Lately I have been over taken by a strange urge to high five a sloth. In truth I cannot explain this / at least with any sense of legitimacy. / I just feel like it needs to happen.

i should start doing titles...
It’s been so long since I’ve felt this way about anything… and I think I’ve needed this for longer than I care to admit. I thought it was fine that I didn’t feel like I do now but I really just don’t want this to end. For the first time since… before I can remember maybe even longer than that I feel like I have something worth devoting my life to and this sense of purpose feels amazing, exhilarating even…. / Now I realize 2 things, first and foremost, as I am close to overstating is that this is better than anything I have ever experienced. Second, sadly you don’t feel the same way… and that hurts. But that’s fine I cannot force you to feel the same emotions that I feel. Furthermore this pain I feel from a love unrequited is significant, it burns in my chest in the most beautiful crimson and at times I fear it will take my life… I feel it could, but the fact that it hasn’t shows it’s benevolent nature. Yes this benevolent beautiful burning bullshit crimson pain born of these feelings I still hold for you. This is life! It may not be pleasant but I can’t say that there is anything better than this. This complex tapestry of emotions… rage sorrow and regret all raise a hand when the role is called and they are very much present… they are presents and they are fucking up every aspect of my Christmas… it’s beautiful how trashed this holiday season has become and with love I will clean up this disaster… regardless of if you are there to see this projects completion…

I think I'm getting there...
I guess it would be easier to go through life with zero regrets but some things are worth regretting. We sincerely try our best to keep from making the same mistake over and over again... but our mistakes never really leave us do they? / I guess that would be just too easy if we could just move on. perhaps then I wouldn't dwell on the past mistakes that mean more to me than they mean to anyone else. Maybe I would return to feet and stop begging forgiveness from a person that has since forgotten my name and everything my name once meant. It's starting to make sense that I never needed her forgiveness I just needed to forgive myself. / Perhaps I can let go of the resentment I held for the only one that I let get close enough to matter and in return she became the only one I would let hurt me. I think holding this guard up against anyone who tries to get close just leaves me alone at the end of the day.
