"You accept the love you think you deserve."
                                                
                                                                     - Stephen Chbosky
A love like this isn't a love to miss
I visit my memories of happiness
Of Bliss
In my head
Painted fiction drowns out my vision.
The realization that ...
This isn't Love
Attachment at best
I fear
I fear
my dear , our love is but a game .. a shame
We hurt each other to feel love  we create to blind our pain..

Noting changes.
Nothing grows.

Empty highs.
Empty lows.

I can't feel the warm,
And I can't feel the cold.

You try to make me happy,
And I try just for you.
But other than our trying,
Nothing else is new.

I worry I'll upset you,
If I can't make a change.
It's not fair of me,
To make you stay the same.
Don't let me drag you down with me.

egg shells
like bells
in a silent world

eyes shut tight

beyond the window
birds have eggs
     in their open
life

yet egg shells must break
risk must take

for life's
sake

I have never been the victim of domestic abuse. I have however seen my nearest and dearest suffer.

Remember
Back then
Way back when
When we were young
And the world was new
When we were young
Way back when
Back then
Remember
