let me apologize in advance for the way my hatred burns and pillages every civilization in its wake. it appears that the shell of the broken, mangled old-me has escaped her cage after being exiled for what seemed like eternity; she's back to lick my wounds and heal my imperfections once again. for two years i managed to function as a real person. the naive little girl i am, i found sunshine in the warmth of your gaze, i allowed your blinding rays of hope to dry every drop of rain that leaked from my soul- you truly were This Little Light of Mine. and then your lips selfishly decided they needed hers. your most sacred monument developed an insatiable ache for her tongue. less than 48 hours after i gave myself to you for the first time, you ripped me to pieces as if i were nothing more than a failed attempt at a poem expressing anything other than loss, or the paper heart your first lover gave you on Cupid's birthday. i've been hungry my whole life, and though our fairy-tale may have disappeared in the blink of an eye, the entirety of the infatuation fed more dying fragments than i'd ever realized i was composed of.

i'm writing you this letter so you'll know that when i say i'm scared of losing you it's not because i don't trust you, i don't trust me. i seem to lose everything important to me, god cursed me with bad timing. i've been especially prone to crying lately, i swear i'm not crazy. you must understand, i always get ****** over. i always get hurt. i always get left behind. i can make as many pretty metaphors as i want, the truth is you make me feel something i don't have words for. i'll dance around it until i discover what it is, but you keep the storm clouds in my mind at bay; i am plagued with an ever-present numbness, but with you all my nerves are on high alert. it's quite peculiar, i've been touched by so many boys and i thought maybe *** just wasn't enjoyable for me. Noah my skin has been pulsing with life since the first time your hand skimmed my leg. i keep thinking i'll get used to all the air escaping my lungs whenever your lips graze mine, but your touch only seems to affect me more. maybe i am crazy- for falling too fast. but i think someone would have to be insane to be immune to the virus that is you. i'm sick and if i die at your hands, i'm okay with that. i would be honored to have my heart broken by you.

I was so sure I would never fall again. So sure I had fought off the bloodsucking leach called love. I knew You for 6 days. Now even after 86 sleepless nights and hollow days the pain of Your absence only seems to magnify. I was so ******* sure! I had done everything right. I'd slept with nameless boys and pretty faces; I'd smoked enough **** snorted enough coke, swallowed enough whiskey. I'd taken up every possible distraction. When the nameless boys suddenly became known in my mind as important , beautiful , special , everything I knew it was time to cut them off. I never kept one for more than 2 weeks , I didn't save their numbers , I didn't ask about their families , half the time I didn't even know where they lived. There was one with a dead mother, and I hadn't a clue that Lee was just the stepmom. Lately the drinking has become a problem, so I have nothing to make me forget. When I met You I immediately wrote You off as not-my-type. Knowing only four other people at "Christian Camp," I was forced to sit with You on the bus. Forced conversation proved to be less awkward than expected, but I still wanted nothing to do with Your goofy smile and dark eyes that only beckoned me closer. That night I noticed those same eyes following my every moment. My body is less than impressive , all long legs and collar bones and protruding hips. My flat chest and slightly curved **** are nothing to get excited about. When I stood with my hands on my hips, You looped Your arm with mine and gave me that ******* near perfect smile. We sat on the benches outside and discussed all the bad things we'd ever done. This is the only way I'd ever communicated , only way I'd ever known to connect , only way I knew to warn people that I'm bad news. This only seemed to pull You in closer. You told stories of Your cranked up parents , the neglect You'd felt as a kid , the countless ways in which You had acted out. You said we're so similar you don't deserve any of your pain soph stop giving yourself to those boys you don't deserve the **** hand you've been dealt. I immediately saw through the jokes , You were in just as much pain as I was , Your no good dad had wronged You just as mine has all these years. We fell into a comfortable pattern of joking about the **** we'd been through in order to keep from breaking down. Whenever someone joined in and apologized for interrupting our lover's time , I made sure to loudly state we're just friends though inside it pained me to admit it. At lights out You gave me a casual side hug and I realized that sometimes a slight touch can cause so many more tingles than the **** of a stranger. Two days later I was hooked and everyone knew except You. I had gelled Your hair and we told the children we were married. We were talking alone on the porch when it happened: I impulsively told You I wanted You to kiss me. You kissed above my mouth at first and I thought I might explode. You kissed me twice more, on the lips this time and I was so happy I cried. Imagine that, what had numbed me for so long caused me to crack. That night we found our bench and You put Your arm around me. Cheesy as it may be, it only made me melt more as I nestled into Your perfect Wes body. You told me You didn't want to be a casual fling or just a camp hookup. I broke all vows I've ever made to myself when I told You that what I feel for You is undeniably strong. Undeniably real. Before bed You grabbed my hand and we walked to the pond , where You gathered me in Your arms and kissed me once more , where I laced my fingers through Your freshly washed hair , where I memorized Your smell, soap and love , where I gave You Your first tongue kiss. When I didn't want to stop, You picked me up and carried me to my cabin, kissing me the whole way there. I refused to say good night, so You hugged me from behind and kissed the nap of my neck, whispering empty promises into my soul. The next day was radio silent. When it became too much I broke down and isolated from the world , begging god to grace me with numbness once again , pleading with her to tape me back together. You pulled me aside and with every word I broke a little more: I'm not ready for this You really are wonderful You really do deserve more You deserve the world baby but I just can't give you that I'm not strong enough for this I wish I could give you what you need. But once again You kissed me before bed and dried my tears. You allowed me to soak Your shirt in my disappointment. You waited until I summoned the stronger me and said goodnight. I cried all night long. The next morning we had a carnival for the kids. You cleaned my infected nose piercing You proudly held my hand everywhere we walked You sat idly by as I drew hearts on Your leg and traced Your tattoo with my fingers. The permanence did not rub off on us. Back at the church You smothered me in goodbyekisses When a few of us went to eat You sat at the opposite side of the table; but back at Your car we kissed more deeply and more passionately than all our kisses combined, You gave me a cigarette and isn't that just the perfect ******* metaphor for how You simultaneously fulfilled my craving and tore me apart. Once we went home, You didn't talk to me for three days. I drunkenly texted You begging for either a declaration of Your love or the final goodbye. You told me once again, I'm not ready for this You really are wonderful You really do deserve more You deserve the world baby but I just can't give you that I'm not strong enough for this I wish I could give you what you need. 86 ******* days and I still can't forget that face.

last week i spent the night with you i opened up to you i cried in your bed as you stroked my back and whispered kisses behind my ear i fell asleep listening to your heartbeat but when it was time for you to go to sleep you called me a cab and gave me a handful of quarters because god forbid you waste a 20 on me you walked me out and cringed when i kissed u goodbye so it puzzles me that last night i was surprised by the way you treated me. you said come outside with us you said there's not enough chairs sit on my lap baby wanna have a ********* cmon share the love alex needs his share too so when you kissed me i ignored him honking my **** when you said trust me i did. when alex threw me over his shoulder and wouldn't put me down despite my screaming, i trusted you. when he threw me on the bed and said go ahead and get started austin, i'll be back in 10 minutes i trusted you. when he left and we were alone you saw the tears i was holding back. you told me to let them fall and then kissed them away. you asked to talk in my car. i trusted you in my car i said too much. i finally looked at you and realized your eyes were full of lust. i trusted you. i hate myself because i trusted you. yet i'm still puzzled as to why you haven't spoken to me since.
