Valentines's Day 2014
It began with a good soaking of my pillow,
A swallow of some pills,
Some drool as I was tripping,
Hitting the snooze button 5 times,
Some more tears to wet the sleeves of my clothes,
Running late,
Driving 14 miles to school in 11 1/2 minutes (don't ask how),
Slept through class,
Sat alone crying in my car for an hour,
Went out to lunch with best friend,
Played a first-person shooter all afternoon instead of homework,
Cried in the bathroom with the door locked for a bit,
All while I'm sure she had the best day without me,
Going to see her girlfriend play Trumpet in a concert,
I currently sit and stare at a necklace I bought her,

Wondering what the **** I'm doing with my life.
The necklace says "Be brave, be true, be special, be you"...
It really only signifies, how little I mean to her and how much better shape her ego is in for her to stand against me.

I am damaged, beyond repair.
