Realization


No longer will I define myself to be the one you love. Your selfish neglect will further my distance. Is that what you want? Truly really deeply down I thought you could have been the one.Is that my naivete or your smooth will to want it all?I failed myself for falling. You failed me too for posing.Who am I to still listen for your call. I wait with all my heart. All that is left anyway. With every word I type I shrink and grow smaller. As if your response would save me now. Its long gone and has been for quite some time. Perhaps my eyes are finally open. Open to your small man status. If you are as weak only in my eyes, why does my heart not see? Was there anything I could have done? Id rewrite our history if I could. Even start over to risk just one more chance. The pain has been unbearable. Inconsolable I seem. Empathy must not be your strong suit. If only youd fit your feet in mine. Our fingers used to do it well. What possible satisfaction could I gain in your misery? Knowing you miss me would be a nice first step. Returning my calls to talk to me, not my friends. I want to wish you happiness, I want to wish you health. All I can wonder is if Ill ever get over you.

Woe is me...

How many times can one person make the same mistake before you stop believing in them? This question seems to be at the forefront of all my thoughts recently. Ryan's been back from rehab for two months. Enough time for me to realize all his empty promises are just that- empty. Why then has he moved in with me?
Some may say I'm too nice, always thinking of others and loving them over myself. I think I'm just scared. Scared of being alone, of making my ever still looming mortgage payment, most of all, of letting another man slip through the cracks. I realize 26 is a little young to proclaim yourself an inevitable cat lady, but when you've got the luck with men that I do, 14 seems almost better.
So last night he again dissapointed me. Broke some windows too in the process. I have to start blaming myself, not him, when he continually lets me down. I deserve so much better. Such nice sentiments from such nice friends, but how can I possibly win when their expectations of me are higher than those of myself? I'm just stressed to the max right now and can't get out of the situation I'm in to really analyze what I need to do.
Here's hoping tonight brings more clarity and zero more broken anythings.
