I was no stranger to crying
I've laughed till my eyes watered
Or when I burnt myself while frying
Or when someone said something that hurtAll those things are silly
Either jokes or mistakes
But I never knew I'd be
Crying over a heartbreakMy daddy used to tell me
"If a boy makes you sad
Let yourself free"
I never understood thatUntil now, when I saw him
Kissing and touching her
Holding her tightly, he had a grin
What happened to 'forever'?I ran to the place we met
And threw away the promise ring
He said he loved me, he lied about that?
A sob racked my body as I threw it away with a fling"That cost a lot of money!
What were you thinking?!"
Well, that's quite funny
He cares about money, not that I'm crying"You kissed someone who isn't me
What were you thinking?"
He stepped away from my curled up body
He looked at me as if I was disgusting"I never meant it
What else did you see?"
I knew he did
He looked very happy"I saw you holding her
Just get away from me, go away"
I finally understood my father
I'll remember everything he'll say"Come on, babe
Don't be like that.."
My heart ached at the pet name
I have to get used to not hearing that"Shut up, go away!"
I didn't want him to leave
I wanted him to apologize and stay
But I told myself looks can deceiveHe never said sorry
He didn't even try to get me to talk
He left in what seemed like a hurry
And I saw him with a skip in his step as he walkedI showed up at school
They were holding hands
I told myself it was cool
What we had was in the pastI lied to myself, I'll never be okay
After years, he does this?
I have to move on, there has to be a way
But my heart breaks with every kissSo I did what I thought was right
And I sat with a pair of scissors
My mind and my heart were having a fight
I should've listened to the hatersHe was never right for me
I knew that all along
But I lied, to myself and to my family
I repeated my words like the chorus of a songDragging the sharp edge against my skin
It hurt more than anything
Why am I letting him win?
We were once each other's everythingI lost my world
Metaphorically, of course
I thought it was absurd
Now I knew I shouldn't forceI knew there was nothing there
Yet I made myself create
I didn't feel butterflies when his hands stroked my hair
Or when he said we were brought together by fateSo why am I so distraught
After he cheated on me?
It wasn't love, or so I thought
Or was I too blind to see?Finally, I didn't mind
I watch them love in front of my eyes
They've been together and I'm fine
He doesn't need to know about my criesToday I almost died
I could've gotten hit by cars
In his arms, I lied
And he noticed my scarsBig mistake because he asked me about them
I didn't know what to say
Should I lie, or should I tell him?
I don't want to scare him awayI told him the truth
It was the right thing to do
I kissed him on the mouth
I knew I didn't have toPerfect timing
His girlfriend walks in
I was caught, she was crying
Why did I commit such a sin?Now I'm in her place
She's feeling what I felt
I couldn't show my face
More pain, I dealtIs this the part where we date?
No, he fucking hates me
He told her they were met because of fate
And I ruined it, but she says "No, he."What have I done?
I'm so ashamed of my actions
He said I've won
None of us have made any interactionsThis hurt for all of us
And it's all my fault
Even though I loved him first
I created a wound and pressed on saltIt hurt like a bitch
He glared at me whenever we crossed paths
My wounds wouldn't close in a stitch
I felt so dirty no matter how many bathsLiving with guilt isn't easy
Especially when it's with two people
I felt like I could never be free
When did I become so feeble?To let my body escape
I allowed my soul to roam
As I looked at the landscape
I jumped from the rooftop of homeI actually felt happy
I was leaving everything behind
Every mistake I made, behind me
With a smile, I say "I'm fine."HAZEL MAE
So! How'd you guys like this one?
I'm actually fresh out of a seven-month relationship that started more than a year ago. Make sense? Idk. Anyways, I feel like absolute shit because I kinda left her for someone else? I mean, the 'someone else' said she liked me back but after I told her we broke up she said she doesn't like me anymore. And now, she thinks she ruined my relationship and my ex girlfriend keeps giving me shit because she found out the girl I kinda left her for doesn't like me anymore.
Yeah, I'm sorry if you guys don't care for my personal life, I just had nowhere else to let it out, so yeah. I'm single. And it's the first time I initiated a breakup for something I've been through twice. I know how much it hurts and I always told myself I'd never do something like that to someone I love especially, or to anyone at all, but I did. I can't face myself yet I can't escape from beneath my skin.
Anyways, yeah, so I'm just a lame sad ass you guys dismiss me and have fun goodbye
