I think about him a lot when I'm sad and when I'm happy And I think about those moments when we look at each other and suddenly we're the only two people in the room and I wonder if those moments mean anything to him Does he feel the way I do when he holds me in his arms as the sun rises Does it mean something to him, when he holds my hand and brushes my hair out of my face Do you think he ever wonders if we have a future together or gets butterflies when people say my name Does he ever look for me in the crowds of people or get excited when my name flashes across his phone screen Has he ever hoped that we would run into each other in the produce aisle at the grocery store Or that we'll go home to watch movies by the fire together after a long day Has he replayed my smile in his head over and over again hoping he can recreate it Does he speak highly of me when his friends ask does he think I could be something special, maybe we could be something special Do you think he thinks about me? Do you think he feels the same way?

Falling in like
Every once in a while I return to my thoughts here, I re-read them, re-say them, re-feel them. I revisit the darkest moments and I relive the pain. It hurts me to recall the excruciating pain I was in....the pain I was in over a boy. It hurts me to remember lying in my room night after night, clenching my chest to see if I was still breathing. It hurts me to know how much I gave of myself, how much I lost of myself, and how much pain I allowed myself to be in, over someone who did not love me the way I deserved. But I needed to learn, and I did. I needed to feel pain, to know proper love, and I did. I needed to see your flaws to stop loving you, and I did. I needed to get out, and I did. I needed to see I deserved more, and I do.

Revisiting
It hurts to know how much he hurt me It makes me sick to know how much of myself I lost But it gives me a chance to grow He's given me the chance to fall in love with myself And learn how to better myself Showed me I never want to be as weak as I was when I was with him He's given me the ability to know there is better love , better life A love that does not cheat, or neglect Because of him I know I am worth more than he gave me I can find happiness within myself I am strong, and I am beautiful I will find someone who respects me, find someone who loves me as I should be loved I deserve better. He showed me that.

He.
I don't know how to love myself I've loved a million but it's always someone else I see beauty in every stranger I meet, It might be time for me to admit defeat There are a thousand flaws in every mirror Nothing to love it can't be clearer I'll give until my blood runs dry, but never take Every night I only wish I'd die before I wake

How do you love yourself
For three years, I have loved you effortlessly With every bone and every nerve in my body. You may have been scruffy and broke, but you were mine, and we were in love. You kissed me hello, you kissed me goodbye, you squeezed me every time I was near and held me when I was hurt. But over time, you saw how in love I was, and you saw that I would do anything for you, and you took that. You stopped loving and started taking. Your love became a falsely reassuring "nothing has changed" I became your last priority and then you cheated, and you lied and yet I was still loving you, still letting you hurt me. I wanted to believe you loved me, I wanted to believe it was a rough patch...because we were forever. And to this day, you still reassure me that one day I'll be yours again, and so I still fought for you. I told people I knew you and this was just a phase in your life. I told people one day you'd be back, one day we'd find love again. But after everything I did for you, you only continued to lie and cheat. So maybe I did know you, maybe we did have a powerful love, one that maybe could have lasted forever... but I don't know you anymore, and I don't want to, and this is my last goodbye.

Last goodbye
My heart yearns for your sadistic, egotistical mind Every day you say you love me and every night you leave me alone to cry once more over that sick fetish you have of watching me fall apart And yet the morning comes and once more I'll rise for you I'll live for you, I'll die for you My lungs breathe for you, my heart beats for you You make my blood boil and my hands shake You say jump, I say how high You say leave, I say I'm sorry. And I don't deserve this I deserve someone to love me to show me what it's like to be cared about I deserve to not sit here writing on my tear-stained laptop about how you've ruined everything that I once had and everything that I once was You've taken over who I am and created a mindless creature I am not myself, I have lost myself because of you You are the most toxic being I have ever encountered And finally, I will get out

I've spent two years of my life clinging to your chest Listening to your beating heart and smiling into your icy blue eyes I fall harder everyday but I feel my heart sink further every second I want to throw up I want to rip out my hair I want to scream at the top of my lungs You've taken over every piece of me You've turned me into a slave You've forgotten what it means to love, You let me follow your every move and breathe your every breath You etch out your thoughts with my blood You've taken my innocence and beaten me to the floor I want to be loved again let me find love again...

I fell in love One year, 182 days, and 15 minutes ago I fell in love And last night you told me you don't want me to be in love anymore You told me that my love was no longer enough Last night you broke me But how did I really expect you to continue to love me, When I don't even love me

Broken
Have you ever wanted so badly to scream, to kick and punch and drain every last tear in your body until the world turns black Everyday I tell myself I can fight it alone, and every night I cry because I know I have no one to tell even if I wanted to My gut is flipping sideways as I smash my head into the door I trusted you with one brick and you walked away with my entire wall It's not okay it's not okay IT'S NOT OKAY. Why can't you listen to me when I'm shouting for help Why do you ignore my screeching plea's If I'm choking on my breath beside you why do you continue to gag my neck

A list of thoughts
It is scary to think I only have someone to talk to when there is a smile on my face ~k
