A swollen heart, is a heart still
My problem is you never wanted to hurt me;
but you did.
For a really long time.
And you let me sit with it. For a very long time.
And I had to live with it without acknowledgement or apologies.
My problem is that somewhere you knew what you were doing and you kept doing it.
My problem is that you showed me how badly you did not want to be with me and I was delusional to think this is a struggle phase and on the other side we’ll be alright, and in the process I normalised so much hurtful behaviour that now I cannot keep up even if things are better.
The imprints of each incident that broke my heart takes up space in my body and I do not have space to intake all these chances of love.
And I have no place to empty it out.
My problem is that when we’re falling in love we’re so giving and we’re so accommodating, but as time passes we’re just looking for ways to not be repulsive.
My problem is that you kept showing me how replaceable I am in your life for months and months, and when I reflected the same behaviour you questioned my feelings for you.
And now my heart has no idea whether to heal or hurt; to stab or scar; to cry or care.
My heart has no clue whom to turn to.
You gave me such a hard time and let all that trauma build inside of me and now I’m a jittery tower. And now you want to make things easier, I will collide in a strangers arms and it will not be a beautiful sight.
I never thought LOVE would become such an unbearable weighted feeling for me.
I’m trying to find a place in somebody’s heart who knows exactly how to treat me, I’m sick of explaining it.
Love, please wake me up when you find someone worthy to be awake with.
Heart, open up only inside a reality.
