insane how I can find little pieces of myself in every woman anaïs nin describes in delta of venus, a woman who’d done all the gestures of sex and remained a virgin through her coldness to touch, a woman who desires encounters with men she’s never met and on the firm promise they’ll never meet again, a woman fascinated by all manner of violence

all because i wanted to see the good in you

i wanted to see you in a different light, and because of that, i find myself always making light of the words that you say and the things that you do. still trying and hoping to understand you a little better, to give you more chances to show me that you can be better and do better.

all because i wanted to see the good in you. but what good did it ever do?

each time i bare my heart out to you, you’d chew it up and spit it out or run from it, leaving me vulnerable and alone, stranded out in the cold once more.

but i guess it’s nothing new. fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me. fool me a hundred times, i’m a goddamned fool, debilitated by my love for you.

life is changing so drastically, it begins to feel like it was all a dream.
