Three days. Three days of silence. The absence of your presence awakens familiar feelings of anger, self doubt, and insecurity. How is it that I keep traveling down the same road? It’s as if I am the sole passenger forced to ride an eternal roller coaster of mixed, complicated emotions. Why do I keep reopening the wounds in my heart only to fill them with endless nights of meaningless *** and mind-altering substances? Perhaps, I torture myself with synthesized happiness because secretly I enjoy the notions that they present. But alas, perhaps succumbing to these masochistic tendencies may be my undoing....

Unrequited Love
