“i like to tell myself that i wasn’t really in love with you but even on the months i forget to pay my credit card bills, i still remember to check your horoscope.”

I knew making someone my whole world was like building a house and then lighting it on fire, but that’s what I did. And I keep stomping out fire in one room or the other without putting it out completely. So now I’m asking for some water. Be enough or be nothing, because in between is what kills. Put the fire out or tell me to get out of the house. I don’t care which one, I would just like to live.

“But I always thought you’d come back, tell me all you found was heartbreak and misery it’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way you’re happy without me.”

“I don’t ask anyone to stay Not anymore The phone may tremble in my hand But never again Will I beg for someone to love me”

“I think it says a lot about you the way you left things. How you went from kissing me in the rain to leaving my texts unreplied. The way you touched me and then disappeared without a word. Or how that night I went home not realizing it was the last time I’d see you again. I don’t care that you decided you weren’t interested anymore, I care that you left me waiting for someone who was never coming back. I care that you didn’t even have it in you to simply say ‘this isn’t what I want’. Maybe we were never going to last forever, but I think I deserved to at least hear it from your mouth and not your silence.”

“You broke my heart and there is absolutely no poetry about it. Nothing beautiful about a tear soaked pillow. Nothing beautiful about dreams invaded by what could have been and all the words that were left unsaid. Nothing beautiful about wanting to rip your heart out to stop you from loving again because if it’s not them then what’s the point, right? Nothing beautiful about hearing the songs they dedicated to you and having to shut it off because each word feels like a pin in the neck. You broke my heart and I refuse to defend you any longer.”
