I feel a little mad today. I feel bitter.
How dare you. How dare you touch my heart with no intention of staying. I gave you so much. I gave you my heart and you took it and left with it. How dare you.
How dare you fill me with hope with no intention of fulfilling them.
How. Dare. You.
Though of course everything you did to hurt me was unintentional. I know that. So how dare I.
How dare I fall for all that. How dare I do this to myself. And you’re probably carrying on with your life like normal, completely unharmed, leading a better life even. But here I am, shattered and trying desperately to piece myself back together.
How is that fair.
How dare you.
How dare I.
And every time I try to turn it into anger and hate, I can't. I don’t hate you at all, so very much the opposite. Which means I just feel sad and hurt and unwanted and stupid.
I keep trying to repress the pain and it works. For awhile. Then I'm walking alone and everything just resurfaces and I feel like my insides are dying and I don't have the heart to walk or function because you haven't returned it.
For the past few days I have not failed to cry when I’m walking either to or from home. The tears keep falling though I’m fighting. But I’m also struggling. And god I am so fucking exhausted. Mentally, emotionally. I am tired. I just want the pain to go away. I want to be okay again. I want to be happy.
How can I be hollow and heavy at the same time. Yet somehow that's exactly how I feel.
