The thing that hurts most
is not the fact that I am missing you.

The thing that hurts most
are not the good-byes at the airport.

The thing that hurts most
is not the fake smile I am putting on.

The thing that hurts most
are not the short phone calls,
the time difference,
the longing I feel for you
the way I miss your arms around me
or the way you stroke my hair.

The thing that hurts most
is pretending that it doesn't.

But you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
When the past calls let it go to voicemail
But I want to start talking.
I want to talk about my attempt to turn the page.
turn the ******* page
TURN IT

A page of my life
it almost ruined all following chapters. 

To make one thing clear in the beginning - I really don't want to you to pity me. I do not even want to ask for sympathy. I am writing this because I feel like I have to. Because it will allow me to turn the page completely and close this chapter forever.

I was lying in his bed
anxious, scared
but prepared.
It has always been the same
I smiled but felt shame
while he was the one to blame.

So my spirit left this bed
it was easy
stumbling to the inside of my head.

The world inside there is beautiful, colourful, calm and peaceful.
I am free, my own self and my own director while there is pain and horror outside.*

My body would stay
on the other side  
it would go another way,
on a different ride.

But that was fine,
my body was strong
could handle the crime
even though it was wrong.

my mind was focused on running
away - this is not where you belong
get through that door!!


Something was different today.
Something didn't work.
The door wouldn't open all the way.
I could feel him smirk.

The door wouldn't open.
I heard my body cry
it was aching and stopped copin'
it wanted me back, asking the question why

Didn't it know that returning wasn't an option for me?
stay brave as before, just be brave and wait for it to be over
let your mind stay free!

My body grabbed my mind
dragged it back to reality.
Just like pressing rewind.
Right into where I didn't want to be.

made me look at it, made me pay attention to it and it made me feel him 

He didn't care.
He never did.
But normally I didn't either.
This time i felt like ****.
I was in pain.

All I felt was hate and shame
Hate towards myself
towards that man that was to blame.

*I am so ashamed of myself because I never bothered about what my body was going through. Now I am convinced that I will never open it again. I will never let anyone give me a reason to do so. It has to stop
I cannot fix what's already broken.
I am not able to prevent it from breaking.

I cannot say the words you leave unspoken.
I am not able to cure your aching.

but I love you, I love you so much!

I cannot stop the fighting.
I am not able to make you feel love again.

I cannot deny that this is frightening.
I am not able to utter complain.

but I love you, I love you so much!

My sister is crying.
Dad doesn't say a word.
Mum tries to keep smiling.
And I am hating the entire world.

*but I love you, I love you so much!
One day
I will be walking into the world.
I will be looking around and realize
that there is someone beside me
someone that is caring for me
and he'll say - go on, the world is yours!

One day
I want to find a new place.
I want to settle down for a while and see
that there is someone beside me
someone that likes this place too
and he'll say - let's stay, I like it here!

One day
I will have my own little world.
I will rest there, stay there and understand
that there is someone beside me
someone that wants to be there with me
and he'll say - honey, let's grow old together!

One day
I want to have arrived where I am home.
I want to be truly happy there and I know
that there is someone beside me
someone that has always been right there
and he'll say - I thank you with all my heart that I could spent this life with you!

One day.

— The End —
