Being insecure can be a crippling experience, especially when it drives away the person you love. The agony of not giving my girlfriend enough attention while dealing with my own demons is unbearable. I can feel the distance growing between me and my once-close partner, and it hurts more than words can describe. My insecurity stems from a deep-seated belief that I am not good enough, that I am a disappointment to those around me. I have always felt like the black sheep of the family, the never-seen son. I've always wondered why I never measure up, but now I know the reason, and it's a betrayal that cuts to my core. The pain of realizing that I am a secret shame my family kept from me, is excruciating. I can't accept it, and I feel like a bastard, unworthy of anyone's love, especially Coachella's. She's everything I am not, and I can't bear the thought of tarnishing her perfect life with my tainted presence. I fear that if I stick with her, I'll only end up making her feel the way I made my mother feel, like a failure. So, I pushed her away, unable to see that I'm only hurting her more. "You are such a bastard asshole, Izo!" I am though... Funny how I just learned that I am a bastard. And hearing it from her mouth... is the downfall of me.

I have to be strong, even if it means breaking my own heart. I would break just to protect her. I clenched my fist so tightly that my thumb tucked inside my palm, a silent cry for help that nobody sees. "Miso, I'm here!" I closed my eyes as I remember her eagerness to help. I wish you were still here, Czarina. But I need to do this. I'll break ten folds just to protect you. Started: Finished: Published: Status: COMING SOON Follow me on my socials for more updates.

Leaving someone I love for the sake of my own salvation is a pain that consumes me from the inside out. It's a feeling of helplessness and despair that suffocates me, leaving me gasping for air in a sea of regret and guilt. I thought I was doing the right thing, that by saving myself, I would be able to save her too. But I was wrong. She drowned. And now, all I feel is guilt. Guilt for not being able to save her, guilt for surviving when she didn't, guilt for not realizing how much she needed me until it was too late. All I want is to have her back, to tell her how sorry I am, and to make everything right again. But I know it's too late. The pain of losing her is a wound that will never fully heal, a constant reminder of what could have been, and what was lost. "I want you broken like how broken I am, Kahel. I loathe you." There was so much rage in her voice that I just want to breakdown right then and there. "Then I beg you to break me, Vica..."
