I learned endings at six. So don’t call it fear call it memory. I don’t dread being left. I dread being drained, loved slowly empty until there’s nothing worth missing. I love urgently because nothing stayed. I expect disappearance so hope won’t humiliate me. If you stay, don’t stay because I endured. Stay because you met me. I am not temporary. I was just taught to expect loss.

letters from my soul
I learned endings at six. So don’t call it fear call it memory. I don’t dread being left. I dread being drained, loved slowly empty until there’s nothing worth missing. I love urgently because nothing stayed. I expect disappearance so hope won’t humiliate me. If you stay, don’t stay because I endured. Stay because you met me. I am not temporary. I was just taught to expect loss.
learning to overcome my anxious attatchment
