“I’m done.

I’ve given you so much

and you’ve given me nothing.

And I am the only one who gets hurt.”

- I need to stop.

“And I miss you,

all the time.

Even when I see you.

Even when we talk.”

- It’s never enough.

“I have cried because of you,

I have lain awake because of you,

I have felt truly safe because of you.

And I am falling apart

Because of you.”

I never learn.

“How am I supposed to tell you

that the way you push me aside,

the way you keep me

so carefully

at arms length,

makes my brows crease

my chest hurt

my soul ache.”

I don’t understand when this happened

“I can be there for you

when you are sad and alone and desperate.

I can hold your hand and hold you together

through your darkest times.

I can come to you when no one else would

and care for you like no one else could.

But I cannot make you love me.”

“You will choose her

again and again,

and I will keep on choosing you.”

“My curse is to love only those who cannot or will not love me in return.”
