A Letter.

by ourskyoursea

You were the first man to ever break my heart. I think I was five. I always looked at you like you had stars in your eyes. You looked so tough, you acted so cool. When I grew up I wanted to be just like you. Then I got older and the stars in your eyes were dull. You always smelled like cigarettes and your pupils were always huge. I didn't know what that meant but I still wanted to be just like you. I wanted to smell like cigarettes, and I wanted a skull tattoo, and when I got older, I wanted to be in a rock star. Anything to impress you. You were always gone. I always wondered why you never wanted to stay with me. As I got older, I slowly understood. You had another love, and boy, did she treat you good. I spent so many nights crying. Wishing that you would stay. Asking myself what did I do to make you go away. So, I looked for you in other men, and I promised myself that I wouldn't let those men break my heart, and it didn't really matter what they did to me because I was too high on drugs to care; and I thought that that was love. Only because you were never there. Where were you when my cuts kept getting deeper? Where were you when I was face to face with the grim reaper? Why do you only come around when you want to give me another empty promise? I would respect you more if you were just honest. Thanks for the talk. Can't wait to hear from you in another year. Don't waste your breath. I wont be here.
