I wish I could say you are a piece of me. I wish I was a piece of you. I don't know if I ever was. Did I make it up? Was I wrong? The distorted thoughts consume me but contain the most vulnerable memories I have. I was never a piece of you. This is where I was wrong. I let myself believe in a person that I knew didn't want me. I knew you didn't want me. It was clear. The distortions that I believed became me. They became my "love" for you. I did not love you. I can truly say you were a piece of me at one point in time. When I barely knew you. When I didn't know the true monster you are. The manipulative soul that I let take mine. The manipulative soul that I let manipulate me. I let you consume me. Every part of me. Destroyed. When you were a part of me I couldn't get enough. It was nothing like the nights I lay crying in your bed. The nights I lay crying in my bed. The days I lay crying in my bed. The entire days that I cried. Too many wasted tears. I had hoped you wouldn't waste them. I hoped they would fix you. I hoped they would make you want to fix youself, for me. I was wrong. You haven't been a part of me since I relied on you. It's hard for me even to remember when I could do that. It's hard to recall the times you were actually there. You actually did care. But you were not invested. You never let me become a part of you. And I will not be consumed in these distortions any longer.
