Untitled

It’s funny, how life just decided to become what it is. How nothing ever stayed the same from what it was. And I wanted to write, so that I could tell you what you meant. You were not simple. It’s funny how I allowed everything to be crushed and dismembered by you. How my face looked when you left, how my heart tore; pieces of flesh scattered in my blue blood. I always imagined you loving me. But you never did, and I assume you never will. I felt like I had to tear the valves of my heart and rearrange the blood flow that you had previously fucked up. I had to tear and twist and rip my skin so that I could go back to the way I was without you. I destroyed myself for you. Every bit of me was blind with the dangerous love I had for you. I couldn't breathe, without your acceptance. I couldn't feel without you saying it was ok. I was trapped under you, the pressure large enough to shatter the earth large enough to make me feel the smallest I could have ever felt. enough to where i was in your hand, I was in the palm of your hand and you crushed me with every ounce of force you had. I don't know how I escaped. But I’m glad I did.
