Shame

by CocoDensmore

I was thinking today that I didn’t love you, who you are. I loved you for who you represented. Because I didn’t really know you. I didn’t know you at all. I seriously have no idea who you are. Today I was wondering, is there any difference in loving someone for what they represent and who they truly are? And I couldn’t really think of the difference. If I had not come from the history I came from, I never would have fallen for you. Did I fall for you, or the solution I felt you represented? I think the dynamic is perfectly clear. Crystal clear. Why I can’t loose you from my life and my mind is a fucking mystery that tortures me endlessly. I think of how much I hate you, which is pretty big. It’s so big I want to make it go away with all my might, because it eats at me. I want you out. You took years from me. Correction, I chose to let you take years from me. Shame on you. Shame on me. Shame.
