  • "I can’t help but feel a little broken. I guess I never thought that you of all people would play with my feelings like that: saying things to me that you thought I wanted to hear and making it seem as though you finally want me. But you don’t want me and this is all just a game for you. You knew how I felt about you. You should’ve just fucking left me alone if you didn’t want anything to do with me. It’s that simple. I was doing perfectly fine. You didn’t have to say those things to me if you didn’t mean it; I don’t know what you get out of it but I’m the one that’s getting hurt right now. Maybe those words were empty to you, but to me they’re the fucking words that I replay over and over in my head when I can’t sleep at night. When you say shit like that to me it messes with my head and I feel myself absentmindedly falling for you harder. But I also feel you breaking me."

  • "I was fine. Well I wasn’t fine but I was okay. I was okay living in my complete isolation as I licked the wounds from the last time I was foolish enough to love, then you came along. And now as I lay in my bed with fresh wounds, a sedative coursing through my veins and tears running down my face, throat all chocked up…I thought back to the time it all began, when you walked into my life and I regretted the moment my lips moved to greet you back."
