I talked to my mom today again about how happy I was . How I wasn't breaking and not an inch of sadness thrusted my breast from dusk till dawn . She mentioned you , she told me I was lying to myself . She was right . I told her about how my nails grew so long they would bend instead of break when we talk , my skin would glow in the evening sun , and how I woke up 4am to wait on your morning texts you sent .
She said I missed you , you were my epitome of happiness sadly she was right . I would take your fire , your demons over anyone else's sunshine any day . I can't blame you I told you we could never be together , I laughed in your face with ridicule when you suggested just Incase you weren't really wanting that , wanting me . I wanted it though .
The distance didn't you say you hated it just as much as I did ? Did I ruin the aspiration that a friendship where you couldn't keep your fingers to yourself could last ? We both knew it wouldn't . Well you knew , but kept lying . I was still hopeful and kept hiding . It wasn't no picnic it was a parade of endless what the hell are we doing . Oh ! That picnic you said you never had , we can still do it once you let me back in .
Don't let her shut me out , don't .
Well yes do ...
Do shut me out .. I don't love you anymore . I'm happy .
Right ?
I thought when I let you go when I deleted the photos and burned the hat and threw the earrings down the sink , I thought I threw away your existence your memory. I thought that was the happiness you were supposed to feel after letting go of the toxins .I thought I was telling myself some sort of truth , finding some of truth that ...I was happy. I let the stance of if I was happy sit on my mental and I studied my essence as if my heart wasn't breaking each step , I also uttered that to my conscious without a doubt . Truly it's just a manic episode us... crazies have I'll reach my lows in a few days and will have the desire to pop pills again to get the grotesque thoughts of murdering everyone and murdering my innocence along with it .
I hate being a writer . I hate being ill . I take everything too deep , too seriously. I romanticized the horrible ideal friendship of you staying with me , my friend we both such damaged birds . I patched your wings too many times to see you fly to another's love nest . No matter how many homes you laid your eggs . I was always more beautiful though . That's what I write on paper . I only still love you because my pen soaked your presence into every sheet . Like it does my Uber exclusive beauty and popularity that reigned .
I never make myself the true golden topic of any of my art . I always end up ruining my path to self love and my path to loving you is formed . My mind has imprinted you as the honesty , the redemption
that comes along with the tragic mind . Worse than any bipolar girls diary that's hidden underneath the broken bed frames .My illness is what keeps me from knowing the difference between the fictional world I've manifested and the scum of a land that I call reality . Im still not sure its name but I'm sure that it has ruined my goodness and my purity . The fictional palaces I grace and the apartment steps I cradle my young feet are two places I can't escape even when I'm running from them . I'm lost between the two . I don't feel real anymore . Sometimes I feel omnipotent , as if I can jump this ledge and wake up in the other lifetime . I've done it quite a lot , or maybe my characters have ? I truly can't say .
I use that world , those storylines , those beings as a escape from my unlucky reality . It helps me fight the truth I refuse to accept . The dark truth that you used me , you used me to fill in that hole ... that hole that was gaping open you needed my tainted lips to kiss it continuously until it healed with temporary affection . The same way I use my writings to heal a gaping wound with temporary affection .
As I drape my pen against the rigid paper I manifest a world that I can't run from and now a place that has became reality . I can't tell the difference between the purple sky and red grass .My palms sparkling in gold and the veins of my arms flowing with millions of butterflies .
I seemed to have lost my trail of thought , I was focusing on you but instead I have found myself somewhere else somewhere else I think is safe . And that's good I have to learn to forget what needs to be forgotten and that in itself is the forgetting .
