It's my own fault.
I always knew it was but I kept denying it.
Which is normal I think because who likes to admit that something bad was their fault but denying it doesn't make it less true.
I guess I just looked for an excuse or someone to blame, someone else.
No one wants to face their mistakes but everyone wants to fix each other.
I still don't understand why people put so much effort in fixing the broken even if they succeed it's going to hell anyway.
So I close my eyes, save a little prayer and hope when I wake up I can start over again.

Lately I feel like nothing is important. Nothing makes sense anymore. Maybe it's because I lost something, a part of me. You were always here for me when I felt like this but even you left. Why did you leave? You told me it was because you had no longer feelings for me, you didn't love me anymore. You told me I wasn't good enough and that you doubted every feeling, every spark you ever felt for me. But if that is the truth why did you put up with it? Why bother? Do you like to see how I'm drowning in my misery?

It's is making me so angry. I can feel the anger inside of me at this point I'm even scaring myself. Can't everything just go back to how it used to be?

Somehow you are still the first thing that comes up in my mind. I miss you every day, the feeling does not go away. I'm afraid it's going to last forever. I can't forget you. I keep fantasizing how you walk into my room and tell me that everything is alright, everything is better than it ever was. We can get back together again and love will never define itself so good. But then I get smacked in my face by reality because you're not here and you don't love me anymore.

What happens when we let go? Where is the memory going? I've been thinking about this for such a long time. I figured if I hold on to the thought of you, you will stay with me, only in my memory but maybe that's how it's supposed to be. Just because I'm no longer with you doesn't mean I will forget you. But once you give in there is no way back, I'm not sure if I'm willing to take that risk. I'm not sure if I want to let go.

You will always be with me in my memory and I will carry you in my heart, even though you broke it.

awake
I stay
on this
snowy
sleepless night.

I lay
and I think
about what I hope
is yet to come.

on this snowy
sleepless night.

leaving town is leaving home
though I've only lived here
long enough to name a few streets
and memorize a handful of names

in three months time
a foreign city became
equally precious to me
as the place I was born

it's not the place
that cries out to me
not a feeling of belonging
that makes me sick to leave

it's the way you look
at me
i'm anxious to look away
from you

because you have become home to me.

Pinned down in a picture book
When all I wanted was to touch the sky
With my soft, soft wings
But you knew best, didn't you?
Keep me locked away
Like the protector you claim to be
I am fading, and you sit
With nightstick and coffee
Proud of the job you did
Protecting me

I love you
But I'm giving up now
I'm giving up on myself and my ability to love you
Since you gave up on it and I can't help but trust you
Because I trusted you

I love you
But I think I'm done trying now
It hurts me so much when you ignore me
That I don't even know why I bother you because I know I probably bother you
Because ...I love you

I love you
But I don't love myself anymore
Its crazy because I loved myself only a month ago but I've learned more about myself since then
Now that I see what I did to you I don't even think I'm worth your having anymore
Because I hurt you

I love you
But I don't know how to love you
I think I do now but only how I should have before and not how you'd like me to now
By "moving on from you" and becoming "happy" again because I don't know how to
Because I promised you

I love you
But you gave me your happy
I drained you of your happy but its okay now because you've taken it back and
You're happy now and I'm sad just like I was before I met you and that's a very good thing
Because I want to see you happy
- I'll love you forever. I don't know how to stop. I hope I'm okay someday.
