#i shouldn’t have trusted you

“i am hard to love.

that, i have always known

but you climbed the barbed wire fences that guarded my heart

and said you were here to stay

i believed you;

that was my mistake

i guess i scared you away;

i was too much for you,

or not enough,

or somewhere in between

but regardless,

the ending remains the same

i am here,

with my lonely, wounded heart

and the shattered remains of every empty promise you made.”

-i am hard to love, but you were easy to lose. c.r.

do you still think about me?

do you think of the nights we spent talking for hours on end?

do you think of the moments when i’d remind you that i’d fight everything for you?

when i was still yours?

do you think of how much i would’ve given up for you and feel tears well up in your eyes?

do i even cross your mind?

-because i still think about you. every day. c.r.

“..i think we met at the wrong time.” she smiled.

it didn’t quite reach her eyes.
