You were always looking for a reason to say goodbye.
You should have known the only reason you'd need is that you want to.
There was never a need to lie straight to my face.
Instead you left me with anger, resentment and bitterness.
But it's been awhile since then and I'm better.
Not fixed, not whole, not as if it had never happened.
But close enough that remembering you doesn't make me want to break things.
So now I am here.
With new friends, in a new place, where everything is different.
I'm looking to meet someone new.
Although I haven't found them yet.
Part of me worries that I'm broken, and just haven't realized it.
What if I never find someone, because of what you did to me?

the little mermaid could
only look at her prince
and yearn to tell him
her hidden feelings as
her vocal chords remained
silent

but even with a voice
as strong and clear as mine
nothing came out of my
opened mouth and i could
only stare in longing at
the prince that captured
my heart
my journal is two
inches thick with
words about your
eyes and I wonder
if you love me
that much.
