wrote about the way the ghosts that used to haunt me convinced me to carve into my legs and purge my stomach of everything rotten years later, i read it again. and again. in every word i see you. i see you and what you did to me and how you treated me. you tried to ruin my soul, dehumanize every bit of me, and i tried my best to help you with it by cutting it into smaller and smaller pieces. was i complicit in my own destruction? i made my decisions. you dug my grave but i chose to lay in it i took the drugs you supplied me and i thought that it gave me love. you let xanax do the talking when you told me you loved. you didn't you didn't you didn't. and honestly! i didn't either! i tried to but i didn't. but i cared when you didn't. i'm tired of thinking about you. i'm tired of trying to figure this out. i didn't deserve that. i was complicit in my own destruction you dug my grave but i chose to lay in it until i didn’t

late 2017 when a lot of my older writing (2014-2016) came to life (did i manifest it .......) there's still .. so much more to it .. when i wrote this i still hadn't processed anything or healed even a little bit, it resonates so much stronger now. also LMFAOOO at "and honestly! i didn't either! i tried to but i didn't." baby you're just a lesbian it's ok<3
