I'm sitting at my work desk after hours because I have to get this off my chest. You loved me in ways I couldn't love you back. I loved him in ways he would never understand. These empty nights of just sitting alone haunt me. They bring me back to all my winters past where my skin turns a ghostly white and my eyes sink in like a body on a soft mattress. I felt tattered and worn when I was yours. In fact I have felt that way with all of my lovers, tattered and worn like a favorite piece of clothing, worn so much it's falling apart. I am again falling apart.
