what if, instead of texting you, i just talk here and fantasize about you reading it?
i imagine you stumbling upon this and realizing that i still love you. i mean, it’s right here! on this post! made just for you!
everything i write these days is for you.
everything thought i make has your smile in it. buried between letters and my fingers moving to tap on this keyboard. it’s to the rhythm of your heart.
bump, bump, bump.
mine is speeding up, if you are reading this of course. i can see you shocked still- swiping to our messages at the bottom of your logs, hovering over your own letters.
do you remember my face enough? can you capture it like i do yours?
god your heart is still beating in my head. i remember after our first kiss, i laid my ear against your chest and heard it for the first time.
bump, bump, bump,,,,
and it never. stopped.
come home to me
or at least
write me a letter
“You never let anyone get close enough to hurt you” you said to me right before I let you close enough and right before you hurt me.
it’s weird that when i was going through the worst shit of my life , i’d consume the most vile , disgusting , gorey media possible. it was almost like a comfort.
now it’s like i can’t even look at that shit without barfing , i feel proud of how far i came . almost fully normal
the thing about being replaced is it’s a feeling you deny up until it sits right in front of your face.
once things are clear- and you and everyone- comes to the understanding that someone else is receiving your affection, the moments already passed.
and it sucks.
a lot.
even when she deserves it because she really is that great and lovable.
she’s just better. she laughs louder, her cheeks tinge pink with it. when she does it, she turns towards you and places both hands on your forearm with a gentle grasp. you feel taken when all of her eyes and lips angle themselves towards your being. it makes your chest puff up in a proudness that only someone so great and lovable can make you do.
I’ve never been great or lovable.
I’ve always been told im too rough. my face gets serious in all the wrong moments, and i look at you with a tentative smile instead of something wide and so open to receiving anything you can give.
i have nothing to take. im so full of sadness, so tinged with blue. there’s no more marks on this canvas worth making. the picture so ugly and wide.
she’s a painting of a cloud, always pleasant to look at whether its at high morning or at sunset. all of her at any time is digestible.
and its so unfair, isn’t it? That we have the same colors and you just show them better, you just carry it lighter.
but you deserve that love, i swear it. you were born deserving, grew up deserving. so deserving no one told you different. no one beat you down to ensure you knew you were any less deserving. no one proved it to you the way they did with me.
so when i see you replaced me, I let the moment pass. i let the laughter wash the hurt right out of me.
