…

In my head;
I think
I’m still pretending
It never happened
I am surrounded
By people
I am smiling
Laughing
Beautiful
You are looking at me
Regret?
Did you make a mistake?
A slow song
You stare at me
I laugh and
Look away
i am
surrounded by
people
and i am
still
alone
I saw your mom this morning
She drove by and
Waved at me
She really has no idea
Does she?
I didn’t
Wave back
i think im starting to understand
and that really, really sucks
i think i’m starting to understand that it’s okay that i miss you. it’s stupid and stupid and stupid stupid stupid but its okay.
and even though what you did was horrible
and even though its taken me four months
i miss the good moments
i miss that initial innocence before i realized just how horrible it could all get.
maybe in another world we were okay
maybe that sucked
maybe it was incredible
maybe it was safe
happy
promised
and i like the memories that i have
i like how i remember when i brushed your hand and you grabbed mine and i was so scared that i threw your hand down and walked faster because i couldn’t believe you were here you were real you were there
remember when we hugged for the first time?
remember how i had no idea how i’d love you so hard and then break into a million pieces
i’d go back to that in a heartbeat if it meant i could forget everything that happened after
remember how you patted my back and my face went beet red?
remember when you used to tell me you loved me and meant it
before it all broke
before you stopped looking at me
before you dropped my hand in front of your friends
before you chose her over me
i hate you
its okay.
i cannot tell
if this counts as living
i am rotting
from the inside out
i am trying to heal
i cannot stop
picking at my scabs
is this the end
please help
i am so
afraid

We are sitting on your couch
Your brother
Is sitting next to me
Your mother
Is in the room
In the room
You are playing Gravity Falls on your half-million-dollar tv
I am sitting next to you
You pull me into
Into your lap
Wrap your arms around
My stomach
One of your hands begin to wander
I push it away

What happened to the air?
All of the air is gone;

I cannot move
And when
The panic sets in
I mistake it
For love
