"You said it in a playful way. You
were being serious. i knew but i played along. both on
self-sabotage mode. i knew, i just didn't care. if you're
going to ruin me, just do it. we're not coming back to our
senses anytime soon. like we've always done, we'll bury
this one too. another dirty secret to bring us closer. your past
and mine too. they're similar. our futures...we will worry
about that some other time. right now it's fight or flight.
survival mode. we don't know any of that. your my unhealthy
coping mechanism. we're both so serious, it's funny. you
keep creeping into my thoughts. i feel myself become more like
you. even your breathing is timed with my heart beat. started
from your fingertips now this blue stain has made its way all

I crumbled her into a ball and threw her out in the trash. when I
see her now I don't feel anything for her. she is pitiful,
but she doesn't even deserve my pity. in my eyes she's
just a run down, sick dog. never loyal, always barked at the
sound of the wind. didn't learn new tricks, just stuck to the
same old ones. years of patience, yet barely even toilet trained.
we all learnt the games she could play. now sick of throwing the
same ball for her to pick up and bring back again. this is
stagnant, it is draining. i stopped thinking of her as an equal.
i can't respect someone who can flip their switch and not
care about anyone but themselves. stupid, waste of time. would
have thrown her out earlier if i knew it would become like this.
