#rejects

Cut me as you please but know that I learn every time you make me bleed.

Mae, bleed

I shouldn’t have depended on you to love me the way I should have loved myself.

Mae, dependency

You weren’t exactly gentle with my heart.

Mae, not exactly

One day, I’ll get the chance to make up to the time that I lost for myself.

Mae, lost time

I will give you the love that you haven’t found from someone else and I hope it makes you better.

Mae, my love

Tell me, how could I believe in a love that wasn’t even remotely real?

Mae, how

Yes, I’m alive. Yet, I’m lost in pain.

Mae, lost in pain

And I feel as though I’m fighting for a lost cause.

Mae, lost cause

I wish it was that easy to love parts of me that no else would.

Mae, parts

We took the plunge and yet, you let me drown.

Mae, plunge

Why do you keep your love so hard to hold on to?

Mae, why so?

I’d rather have you leave than make you stay for all the wrong reasons.

Mae, leave if you must

And then, I realized that I was just in love with the idea of what could have been us.

Mae, idea of us

I think I have grown immune to the pain of letting go.

Mae, immunity

Sometimes, the very act of pretending hurts more than the actual pain.

Mae, pretend

You need to believe in love even when it seems to be the hardest thing to find.

Mae, you need to

Isn’t it ironic how the world knows that I’m in love with you, except you.

Mae, you have no idea

I will love with a love that is enough and more for the two of us.

Mae, for us

I like how both of us are misfits who doesn’t need to conform on other people’s standard of love.

Mae, misfits

Her mind was hardly ever silent.

Mae, inner chaos
