i can't sleep. the memories come rushing with a flood of tears. i tried to walk away so many times. but i cannot sever the bond. cannot rip out a piece of me. i find myself asking the same thing i wrote at the start of the sem...
what is your life like?
without me in it
is it fuller
or less sweet?
you blessed mine
when i felt incomplete
now everything is changed
i want you near me
no more.
you are like a hurricane
i didn't see you coming
never knew you would be earth-shattering
you sucked the air out of my lungs
and my heart races to keep breathing
you pushed me off a cliff
somehow i held on
and climbed my way back up
but not without cuts and bruises.
i am not scarred
i bleed still.
you keep telling me to take care of myself. you said you don't want to see me get hurt and you're sorry you caused me pain. but none of those words spared me from wracking sobs in the shower or sleepless nights like this.
