there lies too much destruction in this world to let myself believe that this is likewise another. i refuse to let myself lie to myself again
i should've listened to you when you whispered to me that my past was not tragedy, that i am not tragedy. you saw through that, but rather than taking it to light, i let my darkness unravel and view it all like a battle already lost.
while there were signs i saw and took, it remains unfair that i unscrupulously equated them to the same ones i've faced before. that, like her, like him, like everyone that preceded us, it all ends the same way. disappear. leave. a voidless hurt.
it was unfair that, when you really tried your best given your circumstances and systems, i hesitated at the crossroad. to believe whether perhaps there lies a chance to take that we can still learn, or shroud myself in such deceit that all there was left was harm, when all you tried to give was love in the rain that felt so hard to pierce through.
my anxiety pounded on me again. the silence that may have made you feel safer left me safeless, but that remains a shared predicament on its own. for at the very least, there exists no home if no person feels held the way they need to, i believe.
i wasn't perfect. you weren't. we weren't. but that doesn't mean that we did not persevere; that silence meant doom in uncommunication; that attachment was a thief of freedom.
i'd like to believe that, if anything, you taught me how to love from the heart, but also how loving boundlessly can pain it verily. you, likewise, taught me warmth.
to be straightforward, i know i didn't end it the best. i know that i clicked block before you could even dare leave me in my mind. but, i want to be mature; to prove to myself that all need not become tragedy in the guise of yesterday.
