i can’t stop thinking about how different our lives would have been if you stayed

[heykickr0cks]

[transcendencepheonix]

Memories of us leave a bad taste in my mouth. Especially the unpleasant ones.

The ones where I felt unheard, or unimportant to you. The ones where you slowly became more and more a stranger to me. The ones that will stick with me, because I loved you and you hurt me. And that scars.

And my body will hold the marks from these place in my life.

[transmechanicus]

Castlevania (the show)’s theses about moving on from pain and being better and confronting your problems and relying on friends is soooooo gooooood.

[notreallymudfiish]

been trying my hardest to approach the world with open arms and a certain whimsy in my soul despite all the horrible things that have happened

[chappedlipkiss]

i hope you get better before you ever date again bc jesus christ that was horrible

[mytendermind]

so just let me have this. just let me have this moment in time, away from the world. let me believe i am wanted for just a moment.

then i will go back to knowing i am irredeemable.

[poemsillneversend]

I just might leave

What do you do when your worst fears come true? When I can’t even be blue because it reminds me of you?

I repaint myself each of your new favorite colors and you barely remember mine of all time.

I ask you for help and you gave me a caffeine addiction. If I don’t sit still I won’t think about how tired I am.

Will you ever let me just rest? Or do I have to leave?

I might just leave.

You toss and turn while I’m motion sick until you doze off into some somber slumber

And when I wake in the night full of pain and panic, pulling my punches so you won’t wake to my manic

And you even said you wished I had someone else to share my favorite things with

And I start to get how it must of felt in “tolerate it” by Taylor Swift

And I don’t believe it when you say you’ll be just fine without me

I gave you everything you ever needed and you always wanted more. You loved my presents at first then grew bored of them in weeks.

Are you always on your phone because you’re bored of me?

How long would it take you to care if I just leave?

I might just leave.

I fixed your stupid truck and I’m always a good fuck

But you never wanna make love to me

You bought a king size bed so you wouldn’t have to touch me anymore and now when I come to bed you’re still asleep right in the middle and I try not to touch you at all

You blame my lack of touch but never noticed how hard I tried. Only I know why I tense up under your greedy hand.

You call me selfish and act surprised when I cried.

Is it any wonder that I just might leave?

I just might leave

And I’m always there on your lonely nights

And saving you the last bite

Are we holding on too tight?

Thought you were my white knight

Standing under your great height

We never really even fight

Conversation so polite

You say it feels so right

But you never hold me too tight

And you never read but I still write

I wish you’d be alright

I’m thinking I just might leave

I just might leave

I lent you lunch money and I lent you my credit card. I always covered your share of rent because I gave you my heart.

You took my money and you took my time, but you’d choose anything else over your future wife.

The bells have stopped ringing. Maybe the music just died. Or maybe our time stands still while you figure out your life.

When will you grow up? Are we out of time? Am I just not worthy to call you only mine?

Do you know how I feel? Can you read my mind? Could you see it when the light died just from looking at my eyes?

I’m running out of questions. We’re running out of time. I wonder if our family and friends will be surprised when I leave.

I might just leave.

[she-is-trying-to-heal]

No, you don't still love her.

No, she isn't the one.

No, it wasn't just bad timing.

No, giving it another try won't work.

No. No. No.

I'm sorry love, she just isn't the one for you and I know you love her so much but she's not worth it.

The idealised version of her that you have created in your mind deserves your love. Her true self doesn't deserve it in the slightest.

Heartbreak Diary - 3

It must've hurt you more or equally to have our relationship ended here. If I ever got a chance to talk to you, you'd most definitely deny it. You'd said you had already deleted my number; you had already moved on the second you made the decision; and you had already forgotten so much about us. But I knew these were all lies. I knew what we had, and I knew it was mutual.

Today, a Saturday morning, I woke with a strong feeling of missing you. Perhaps it's because I always spent Friday night with you. If we count the days since I sent you a goodbye note, it was still less than a week ago. It still hurt a lot, although not enough to cry my heart out anymore. Or maybe just me refused to lean into that feeling and all the good memories.

Things would have been different if I had done what you said long ago. To stay just friends, nothing more. And to follow the "dating game rules" that I mastered. Rule #1, never double text. I haven't thought it through why I didn't, but now slowly regretting not to. Even though you are unique. Even though I love you so much, all I wanted to do was to spoil you and make you feel like you were the best human in the world. The trick to keeping the one person you love is not treating them differently. Maybe that was the answer. And I failed this time.

And I failed again this morning. I unblocked you and texted you this: "I miss you and I love you. I will always be here as a friend if you want to talk, just one phone call or text away." The latter sentence was something I was going to put on your birthday card. You are sensitive, thoughtful, and gentle. I knew the world was a harsh place, and it wouldn't always treat us nicely. I wanted to be there for you when you needed that. You might think about calling and texting many moments in the future. But you might never put it actually in action.

And thats okay. That's just life.

[whogivesmestrengthhh]

I wrote this for you

You might think that I hate you,

but I just hope that you’re okay.

No one should go through suffering alone

and I’m so sorry you were struggling

so hard on your own.

I just wish that I had known.

I wish you would have shared.

But be proud of your strength

and resilience

for what you’ve gone through.

But just like things taking hold,

know that I’m gone too.

I guess we both have to suffer

the loss of us on our own.

We’ll heal from this,

but this time

it’ll be alone.

• Don’t ignore your inner voice and intuition. • Consider getting yourself a journal; it will help you organize the chaos in your heart and mind. • Don’t push away the people who truly love and care for you; they will be your support system when things get tough. • Lastly, don’t rush into closure or healing; give yourself the same amount of time, patience, and energy you gave to that relationship.
