it's been two and a half years, but the echoes of the shotgun blasts and bold faced lies still reverberate through my existence. this morning i awoke from a dream, in it, you had stolen from me the person i care about most in this world and sent me on a rollercoaster of self destruction and hate screaming at me that it was what i deserved. is there an end to this panicked misery? even though you're only a voice in my head there are days it feels like you could spoil everything I've dedicated myself to fixing this past year with a mere phrase. "what about my pain?"
