*because the hand connected to mine isn't yours anymore.

and i will never understand people wanting a clean slate, to meet someone else all over again.

because if we met again, i would never have had you at all.

and i would rather sit alone and let our memories **** me,
rather then lose them,
like we never loved at all.

Facts: the people who made me happy are no longer here. And they would no longer be interested in making me happy.

Memories are just that. Memories. They will not happen again. They just stay with you, like shards of glass embedded in your brain.

Crying will not make things better. It will not make you feel cleaner. It will only make your eyes hurt and remind you that he is no longer here to wipe your tears. And even if he were here, he wouldn't.

Taylor Jun 2014
You left me with ears full of lies and a shattered heart. You told me you'd never leave, and now you're gone. You said you loved me. You said she was just a friend. That she wasn't even attractive. I knew you liked her before you knew, and you tried to hide the fact that you took her to every schoool dance this year that you went to. I tried to pretend like I didn't notice. You pressed me into walls and couches and fences and kissed me till I couldn't stand, sunk your teeth into my lip during our fights, and swore at me for being stupid before swearing you'd never leave me alone again, because I really do need you and I do a lot of stupid things without you. I know I wasn't good enough. You took her to the place you said you would propose to me at. She wears your jacket everywhere, either because she really likes it or because she breaks the heart of every guy she dates and got ****** in the practice room at school and you really don't want to end up like the guy you stole her from. I hate her face and I don't mean to, but she knew about us and she still ripped you from my chest. I know I said a lot of venomous things to you. I believed you when you said you wanted to marry me. When you got on one knee and asked, I said yes. Clearly, you've forgotten that. I wonder if you're going to marry her now. Yes, it probably seems I moved on fast. I was kissing girls and boys and swapping love notes with saliva and telling someone new I loved her within weeks, but we both know how she is and neither of us meant it. I'm with a new boy now, one that's happy with me and doesn't constantly talk about his first love and lie to me about some other girl. He's mine and I'm his. But you hurt me a million times. You hold her hand inches from my face or put your arm around her like you used to do with me. You shoved me aside, literally, to run to her and throw your arms around her. You are a senior and you graduated yesterday. Well, good. I hope I never see your face again. And within a month of school starting, she'll have replaced you with some other guy.

I'll laugh.

Most people seem to remember the moment when their lives fell apart. Maybe someone left them, maybe someone died. Other people remember the trigger, maybe even the exact date.

I just recall waking up one morning and not caring about my life anymore.

I never really met you.

Sure, I saw pictures. Pictures and videos- we talked through Skype all the time, and my heart fluttered when watching a smile light your face up through the webcam.  Your blue eyes were large and looked like circles of sky, and your lips were full and soft-looking.

You said you had fat wrists.

You didn't.

Somewhere in the three years of constant contact, you know, I fell in love. We handed each other all of our secrets, our dreams and fears. And I fell more in love with you each day. Eventually, the words tumbled out of my mouth.

You said it made you happy. You wanted to be loved, I made you happy. But you didn't want to let yourself feel anything that deep. You said you were afraid. Afraid of your flaws, afraid you'd become your father. Afraid.

I loved you anyways.

You left. You said you needed to go on with your life and you needed to change. You said you couldn't be attached to me anymore, you said the feelings I caused were ruining you.

You came months later calling me love again, and I answered. But you confessed nothing could ever be like it was.

I was ecstatic to have you back, until I realized you were right. Nothing was the same. You were closed off, an icicle. You were not the boy I remembered, and your sky eyes became more like snow. I swear, they even looked paler.

The boy I fell in love with was dead. He's just a shell of himself that *I don't know how to fix.
220 · Aug 2014
Just please
Taylor Aug 2014
I'll swallow my pride. I'll learn to trust you. I'll ask you to come back. I'll tell you I'm sorry. I'll try not to **** up. I won't flirt with anyone else, not even when we fight. I'll cry in front of you instead of pushing you away...I'll ******* change.

I miss you
Taylor Oct 2014
I always hear it and think "our song" and I think of your face and I just think of you. I think of the time we put it on our friends radio in her basement during her party, before everyone had arrived. I think of us sprawled out on the floor, of you holding my hand and my head on your stomach. I think of how I threw the necklace my newest ex had given me somewhere on the floor and kissed you, because I'd wanted you the whole time and now you were mine. I think of your arm around me and how it felt to kiss you and keep you. I thought of us going under her table and being crouched there together with you, laughing at how people thought we were ******* when we were just holding hands under a table. How you ran your hands down my sides while we were dancing in the darkness of her basement like a couple of idiots because it was pitch black and it felt like privacy, felt like us alone. I think of how it's our song. Except, it isn't our song anymore.
It was I miss you, by Blink-182.

And as for you.
Taylor Jul 2014
You. Who ruined me in ways I didn't know possible. Who filled me with a rage and agony and eventually such a deep sense of loss, of pure emptiness that I saw my own death every night. The smell of you lingers in my worn sheets and on the love seat that remains on the patio, and every time I sit there breathing in your scent, memories flood my eyes and fire drips from my tear ducts. You ruined me in impossible ways, showed me why storms are named after people. You replaced the blood in my veins with poison. And now, you draw a girl you lied to me about for years pictures, asking her to come watch the stars with you. The stars that we used to trace across the skies together, side by side in the dark. You swore you'd come back to me, but only for her - your side girl, who already has a boyfriend of nine months who really doesn't deserve a ******, selfish, proud ******* like you hanging all over his ***** of a girlfriend. But **** all of you. **** every last one of you who broke every bone on the way to my heart in every direction. ******* because I can't even focus long enough to finish a **** writing, because pain of another direction hits and I end up going that way. ******* for making me full of a hatred I didn't know existed. For shattering me in a way that makes it hard to breathe when she says your name, (your first name, the one I'd breathe against your shoulder, the one only I was allowed to use because you didn't want anyone else calling you by it, too personal.) Because the last time she said your name, it was because you used your rare phone call at basic on her and it hit so hard I vomited. Because I didn't know you could puke from mental anguish. ******* for teaching me all the ways a human can be destroyed. I pray to anything willing to listen that you both feel it someday.
