1. I burned the letter you sent me professing your love to me. I burned it and scattered the ashes across the beach. I stood there till the sun rose in a lazy pink haze.
2. I drove home, barely letting my foot off the gas, my tank running on empty. I half-ran, half-walked to the bathroom, I took a scalding shower in an attempt to erase your fingertips from my skin.
3. I thought I saw you in cafe, hand in hand with a long haired brunette. I dropped my coffee and burned my hand. I threw up in the alley later.
4. I had a panic attack today I called you in the verge of tears. You didn't pick up. I cried that day until sun set in a bloody mess of red and orange.
5. My mother says it will get easier. But I don't believe her. My heart feels like a torn up mess. And my lips still curve upward at the sound of your name.
6. Sometimes I wish you felt the pain I was going through with no one to comfort you. Sometimes I wish you'd come back to my open arms. Sometimes I wish that you'd never find release in all of the 7 seas.
