You were the most beautiful thing I'd ever felt till now. And I was convinced you'd remain the most beautiful thing I'd ever feel. Do you know how limiting that is? To think at such a ripe young age I'd experienced the most exhilarating person I'd ever meet? How I'd spend the rest of my life just settling? To think I'd tasted the rawest form of honey and everything else would be refined and synthetic? That nothing beyond this point would add up? That all the years beyond me could not combine themselves to be sweeter than you?

Falsehood
I will tell you about selfish people. Even when they know they
will hurt you they walk into your life to taste you because you
are the type of being they don't want to miss out on. You
are too much shine to not be felt. So when they have gotten a
good look at everything you have to offer, when they have taken
your skin your hair your secrets with them, when they realize
how real this is, how much of a storm you are and it hits
them.
That is when the cowardice sets in. That is when the person you thought they were is replaced by the sad reality of what they are. That is when they lose every fighting bone in their body and leave after saying you will find better than me.
You will stand there naked with half of them still hidden somewhere inside you and sob, asking them why they did it. Why they forced you to love them when they had no intention of loving you back and they'll say something along the lines of I just had to try. I had to give it a chance. It was you after all.
But that isn't romantic. It isn't sweet. The idea that they were so engulfed by your existence they had to risk breaking it for the sake of knowing they weren't the one missing out. Your existence meant that little next to their curiosity of you.
That is the thing about selfish people. They gamble entire beings, entire souls to please their own. One second they are holding you like the world in their lap and the next they have belittled you to a mere picture. A moment. Something of the past. One second they swallow you up and whisper they want to spend the rest of their life with you, but the moment they sense fear they are already halfway out the door without having the nerve to let you go with grace, as if the human heart means that little to them.
And after all this, after all of the taking, the nerve, isn't it sad and funny how people have more guts these days to undress you with their fingers than they do to pick up the phone and call? Apologize for the loss? And this is how you lose her.

But I don't
want to carry on like everything is fine
The longer we ignore it all the more that we will fight
Please don't fall apart
I can't face your breaking heart
I'm trying to be brave
Stop asking me to stay
The longer we ignore it all the more that we will fight
Please don't fall apart
I can't face your breaking heart
I'm trying to be brave
Stop asking me to stay
You owe me. You've made yourself essential to me, you've
given me something else to be. And you can't do that and then
leave. If you love me in any way, you'll come back.
I think I finally found someone that likes me for
me.
Which is really good, he makes me smile and laugh like I haven't in a long time.
He is so adroable and awkward, I love it.
He tells me how beautiful I am all the time.
It's something that I'm not quite used to... yet.
But at the same time I am beyond terrified how bad it could end, if it would.
I haven't know him that long, but I feel this connection that I don't think I've had with anyone else.
I'm not inlove with him, but, I really like him, so I really hope he likes me too.
I have been so fed up with games from other people, that I hope he isn't going to screw me over.
But he is amazing.
He has this one dimple when he smiles and I can't hep but want to look at it all the time.
His voice sends chills down my ears, I could listen to him talk all day.
He is so tall, I love it.
Not like other guys, he's beautiful, inside and out.
I just hope this works out.

I NEVER KNEW,
YOU WERE MORE THAN A VOICE THAT MADE IT'S HOME INSIDE MY HEAD
NOW I'M CARVING SCARS, IN MY ARM..
TO REMEMBER WHAT IT FEELS LIKE,
TO FEEL ANYTHING.
IT WAS ONLY THE START
MY ADDICTION
TO
TEARING MYSELF APART
I'M IN LOVE
WITH
HATING MYSELF
IT'S THE ONLY REAL THING
I'VE EVER FELT

Even if you are born with sight if you live with your eyes closed
then you will never see.
