I'd like to remind you that I think of you every day-- and the thought sticks to me, then peels away, like burnt skin-- as if I love nothing more than the idea of being surrounded by you, no matter how much it hurts. I'd like to remind you of the lessons you've learned-- rise from the ash, my love, you are not who you thought you were-- so act like it. I'll remind you that the "pain" you feel is just the sensation of blood rushing back to the limbs and organs you left empty for a while. Please don't stay empty for long-- you're a sad little monster. And the world, we did nothing to deserve your cold shoulder.

I love you, get over yourself.
