"she loved him
when she shouldn't have
and perhaps that
is what broke her,"
they whisper.

that's what they say.
that's what they all say.
i came here to write this.
i came here to write this
letter, just so i may ask you:

is it true?

is it true that you broke me?
is it true that you scattered
the shattered pieces of my heart
throughout the vast, vast universe
so that the others may not see
them and put them back together?

is it true that you did it on purpose,
manipulation in your mind,
thin puppet strings hanging between your hands?

is it true that you broke me
so that you could see
just how far i was willing to go?
so that you could see
just how far i'd go to prove to you
that i loved you so?

is it true?
is any of it true?
is it all true?

i hope not
because i'm a selfish person.
i hope not
so that i can prove how false it is —
their ( in my own selfish person opinion ) oh-so warped version.

i hope it's not true
because it would mean i was a fool.
because it would mean that you
( the love of my life, the love of all my lives )
didn't love me,
which would mean that you were cruel
and i don't want that to be.

i don't want you to be cruel —
i want you to be the person i fell in love with.
the person i'm still in love with,
because i'm a lovesick fucking fool.

and yet despite my wishes
here i am,
writing a letter so long it's currently spanning seven inches,
asking you and hoping you answer because
if you don't, it would only reinforce the fact
that the rumours are correct, and
that i am a selfish person and a selfish fool:

is it true?
