I was sitting next to his door with my face in my hands when I confessed, “I keep forgetting to breathe. I keep holding my breath and I have to remind myself to inhale and exhale.” I think about that often, there’s a lot of secondary thoughts to that one. But really what I mean to say is that the act of breathing is supposed to be reflexive, In the way writing is to a poet. But each night as I remind myself to breathe I try to construct lines of poetry in my mind. And I find myself restless. There’s too many eyes, real or perceived. And the red notebook by my bed still has engravings of letters long given away. etched into the page. In between practiced breaths and stilled fingertips I imagine those letters combusting, bursting into flames until nothing is left but ash. But Ash. A return of pieces I had given away. And even in my imagination there’s still a spark left inside of me. I want to write something beautiful. Something so aching and familiar that I can recognize the fingerpr
You may miss me, but you still write to him. - The only ten word story I could give you.
ReplyDeleteWhy write to someone who doesn't care? Never loved your words or you? Why write for someone who only cared when it was about them? The words I have had for you are ones you never want to hear, so don't both pretending I haven't written when I have, they're just words you rather weren't for you.
ReplyDeleteIf everything you told me was true you wouldn't be writing to him. Regaurdless, if you think he cares more than I do, I really am a fool for loving you. And oh did I love you.
ReplyDeleteAfter everything, Give me a call and I'll answer.
I never lied, and you have no right to speak about what happened. You took something that happened to me and used it to your advantage. You don't love me. People who love someone don't use them. You used me consistently and constantly. I was a fool for trusting you. So I guess love just makes us all fools doesn't it? Go back to your girlfriend and leave me alone. You've done enough damage.
Deletei miss you everyday but i feel like you don't notice. love the blog still.
