How much easier it is to let it slide, to ignore the signs, to push the truth away. How much harder it is to watch the color leave someone’s face as they fade.

I’m reminded of what great value there is in breaking hearts—what great value there is in momentarily destroying someone else.

“Do I really wanna live a life like this?

Maybe buy a little house?
Maybe have a few kids?

So I can learn what to be loved unconditionally is?

Is that selfish?”
No more than drinkin 20 beers on the coast eating shellfish.

I’m not so sick.
And I don’t really want to feel good when it comes back around.
It’s not much fun when I 180.
I’m so sorry most all of the time.
I miss your time with me.

I think you’re just too young for all of your heart

No amount of people saying they love you
Will make up for you not loving yourself

Which you can do
At any time,
You know you can choose to love yourself temporarily or even forever?

If you want to
But you don’t

So you won’t.
