I confess. I yearned for your attention. My whole body ached for a tiny bit of recognition that you new I was there. But your eyes were on hers. And I was being greedy and cared about my own happiness more than yours. At that moment all I wanted was for you to feel the pain that was tarring me apart inside.  I couldn't see then that all the pain you had caused me I had brought upon myself. But i couldn't brush all the anger off. So i used the only drug i knew that would make them disappear for at least a moment. So then I ****** all my feelings away. Every ****** every whimper, pushed all the anger out. But ******* the feelings away only made the memories stick deeper. So there I was sitting side by side with all my unwanted feelings. Not knowing where to go or turn but straight.
