how do you tell someone that the reason you are hurting is because you know their promises are emptier than all the bottles you have hidden under your mattress? the pain you feel every morning is not from sleeping on broken glass but from knowing it's only a matter of time before they become just another reason you lie awake at night counting the sleep you're losing. each hour the impending heartbreak inches closer and closer until it's taking up their spot in the bed. but all you can do is stay silent because if you open your mouth then the truth might slip out and cause the end too soon. so you keep your mouth busy by emptying more bottles. because the truth is you can't tell someone the reason you're hurting is that you know you the ending before they do.
