I don't think my white shirt ever matched your leather vest. Or that my clumsy attempts at showing emotions towards you, was a good idea. I don't know why I fell in love. Please don't ask. I feel pathetic as I weep these ridiculous tears and I beg my mind to leave you alone. But it wont. In fact it doesn't care about white shirts matching leather vests or hearts beating equally. I try to cut ever single thought about you away. But you see, I don't do cutting any more. Though I might be able to drown it or hang it - or make its stomach into a fire of pills and liquor. Yes I could make it stop by that. But it is pathetic as well. Self loathing is for the weak. I am not weak. I drink wine and do those drunken things, that makes the next morning awful. But I drink that wine good, and I smile and laugh with teeth and sound. Yet the fact is; I just don't match you good.

Love for the unloved.
