The leaves can’t control what trees they grow on. Shoes don’t choose whose feet they will be covering. We don’t choose who we fall for. We can’t control that feeling we get when we glance into someone’s eyes and realize they will soon have a piece of our heart.
Our brains create emotions that are impossible to stunt or stop. Rejection after rejection. The same people can still consume our minds, even if Our common sense knows, it will never be an option.
At times, I want to look my feelings right in the face and say, “Curse you” why do you allow me to feel this thing called love When you know deep down this time will be just like all of the other times.
I can’t control the boys who look into the eyes of my friends and instantly the emotions of attraction consume their lives. I can’t control the boys who are just a little off, and look at me with that feeling. I can’t control myself falling for someone who looks into my friends soul and makes that connection.
Life is on constant repeat. The sun rises every morning. The seasons changing every few months, every year. Babies being born, and bodies being lowered into the ground. People falling in love with complete strangers. People leaving other people behind. It is a reoccurring event, which in my life will never end.
This constant change and betrayal has become so common I am afraid to say it is almost a scheduled event like the Saturday morning cartoons. Always on, always there, every Saturday morning. No matter what. This change in my life, this constant repeat of life’s hardest moments is becoming so comfortable my heart aches with the thought of it all.
I can’t fathom the thought of every heartache coming from betrayal coming to a stop and having the security blanket of knowing who ever is in my life, and who matters the most will stay.
It is safe to say my heart is becoming an ***** of scar tissue. Clotting the cuts to keep me from bleeding out. This rejection, this betrayal, this feeling of being alone, it must stop soon. I’m not sure how much more I can take.
Little does my brain know, the feelings that I can’t control, the feelings that no one can control, those are the ones who make me bleed out more and more every passing hour.
