20/Non-binary/American *+* things aren't going anywhere
looking back, you never wanted me. you said you wanted a good democrat to take home to mama. you wanted a trophy. i sped all the way to campus. i'm sure i went over the speed limit. you couldn't wait one more hour. i wouldn't say yes. we had a date, but i couldn't say yes. you need the answer, don't you? i have never let another see me naked. others have taken my clothes, but you took my shield. i trusted you with my vulnerability. in the afterglow, i wrapped my arms around you, a hand on your chest. you made big promises and big plans that we both know you couldn't keep. i trusted you and told you i'd see you after work. you said you were so tired. i offered up a bed, but you said you needed to think. you always need to think. i woke up three hours early so i could stop by your room before class. i wanted to cuddle, you told me to stop it. i thought you were joking. the text still lives in my phone. i didn't want to make it official. so you didn't want to make it work. you never wanted me. you just wanted a status update. you didn't care who you dated. you were gonna use me. i was gonna be the girl you could show mama. i was gonna be your prize. it's better that it happened this way. you are not who i thought you were. i am not who you wanted me to be. -hm.

momentarily mine.
I shouldnt have lied and said I was okay. I should have asked you for help. Oh god, I need your help. I am shattered. Do you not see my broken bones? Do you not see the way I cry out for help? I just want to be noticed. I shouldn't have lied. But you should've known.
