I'm ugly so I do ugly things.
2. I'm terrified of commitment, so when you asked me out I burst into tears.
3. You are scared of loving someone so scarred.
4. I flinched when you touched me
5. I find poetry in the way the sun hits my walls, you don't even like the way the birds sing.
6. You love ***.
- I am not ***.
7. Your mum turned up her face when she saw me.
8. You believe in me too much.
9. You laugh at the immigrants, as if the name on my uncles passport doesn't hiss with illegality.
10. I couldn't stop thinking about all the other girls who had heard your soft moan.
11. I was both clingy and nonchalant at the same time.
12. I am tired!
13. You stared into my black eyes and told me about the oceans in the face of the last girl you had slept with.
14. When you found me crying over poetry, you told me to cheer up.
15. You made my heart bleed.
16. You were already thinking about marriage and children and stability.
- I'm just trying to get myself out of bed in the morning.
17. You told me I was beautiful and went to sleep when all I wanted was your arms wrapped around me cradling my ugly.
18. You punched me like a father.
19. Mum told you a story and you yawned as if her magic bored you?!?
20. You sighed in reply to everything I said.
21. You called me when drunk and whispered obscene things you would do to me whilst I cried on the other end of the line.
22. 4am tasted like you and ****. And people aren't supposed to taste like guilt.
23 You were obsessed with naked pictures, I was obsessed with hating my body.
24. You chose to ignore the blood.
