Bottled up (prose)
They say if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything. But I've run out of nice things to say to you. It's time for me to stop lying and pretending and start being real. And that might mean I'm not always nice. It's my turn. After all of this, I deserve to be selfish for a moment and let all of this off my chest. / I loved you. I have for years, and I'm afraid I always will. Your first love just isn't something that goes away. But you lied and manipulated, and played all kinds of games. And I'm saying no. I can finally say no. I can't put myself through it anymore, and I shouldn't have to. It's not fair. Everything isn't just about you. Your actions affect those that are around you, and I can't take it any longer. I'm not going to be your way out, and I'm not going to let you use me. Find someone else.

broken
37 seconds / that's all it took before I hung up the phone / that's all it took for me to see that you didn't care

Dear Justin
You're selfish. / You're a cheater and a liar. / You're manipulative.

Don't Let Me Run
He used to come over and we'd fuck. / Then he would leave, / to go see her.

Drunk on Words
In just one breath / You speak words I thought I'd never hear / Just one breath

Goodbye
The night we met / Was a regular masquerade / With a gentle snow

Goodbye, again
I've hated you for a lot of things over the years, but for few things as much as this. I hate you for making me say goodbye to you, again. / You must not understand how hard it was for me to say goodbye the first time.

Her
I always had to remind myself / You were with her. / You chose her.

Here
The night is dark and peaceful. / The city lights create a certain ambiance. / The warm breeze comfortingly engulfs.

Here I Am
You accuse me of being cold and detached in one breath, / then in the next I'm showing too much affection. / Pick a side.
