Ha another one

If you watch these and get something from it to improve you – then thereโ€™s some hope.

I know what I need to work on.

I’m not a bad person

I don’t attack people and get super mean and defensive every time they express how they feel to me – just because I don’t want to look at how messed up of a person I’ve been

I know what I need to work on

But if I’m surrounded by someone who gaslights me every time I say something they don’t like or don’t want to hear

Then the problem isn’t me

Oh thatโ€™s what friends are for

My friend asked me why I would want him

And I said, โ€œWant? No. No. No. Wantedโ€ฆ past tense. Iโ€™ve remembered who I am and who I am doesnโ€™t want any of him.โ€

Sometimes us girls can get stupid and tripped up in a moment over someone that when given a little space – we are able to see the situation more clearly.

And I saw the situation and who he really is

I donโ€™t know what I was thinking.

Or what I saw in him that was even good for me.

My friend said to me โ€œI know you. Youโ€™re passionate, kind, caring, loving, thoughtful, a little feisty at times- but at least I know how you feel instead of having to guess if somethingโ€™s wrong- youโ€™re intuitive, smart, creative, funny and loyal As fuck. You are an artist. You made choices that were good for you and You never needed to be with someone to feel complete. If you wanted to be with someone you could. If you wanted to get married you would have. There are many amazing guys you could be with right now if you wanted to but you donโ€™t. You enjoy your space. Iโ€™m surprised you even went out with someone who acts like you should be grateful for the crumbs he throws you.โ€

I thanked her. She was right. I canโ€™t believe it either

A woman like me is only good to a man who is willing to give back.

Who treats her with respect

And he didnโ€™t

So I stopped being respectful back

He set the guidelines by his actions

I lost respect for him

And treated him the way he treated me

Now I feel nothing for him except a yuck that i wonโ€™t have in my life again

Besides i see how he treats people that actually want him

LIKE SHIT

Why would I desire any part of it?

But I think he wants someone who doesnโ€™t want him or someone who just leaves him for someone else.

So that us what he will have.

Thatโ€™s what he deserves.

I donโ€™t care

Thatโ€™s what he deserves.

This will be my last post about him. Itโ€™s made me feel better to write it out but I usually only write about the things I care about and he is not one of them. Goodbye

Reflection.

Iโ€™m sorry

I saw your effort.

I care about your feelings

I wasnโ€™t trying to hurt you.

I want you to feel safe.

I just want to feel safe too.

she learned

he learned
you can love someone
and still be
completely
alone.

even when theyโ€™re breathing
in your bed,
in your ear,
in your mouth.

she learned
you can fuck a man
and still
never get close enough
to touch the part of him
that matters.

she waited.
not for roses.
not for some grand confession.
just the small things.
a call that meant something.
an answer that wasnโ€™t
a dead end.
a moment where she didnโ€™t have to
wonder
where she stood.

but she was always
on the outside.
looking in
at a world
he wouldnโ€™t share.

and stillโ€”
she stayed.

because he carried damage
like a religion.
and she thought
if she loved him hard enough,
loud enough,
real enough,
he might finally
feel clean.

but some people
donโ€™t want to be touched
where it hurts.
they just want you close enough
to prove
theyโ€™re still bleeding.

he was still chasing ghosts.
not running after the one who left him,
but running
from the bruises left behind.
and somehow,
she became the place
he went
to feel less hollow.
not whole.
justย less.

and when you love someone
who only wants a place
to rest their grief,
you become
the silence
they never apologize for.

and she?
she gave too much
too long
too softlyโ€”
until she forgot
how to ask
for anything at all.

but one day
the quiet
got too loud.
the hunger
too sharp.

and she walked.

no big scene.
no screaming match.
just absenceโ€”
clean and cold.
like winter
after a fire.

and heโ€”
heโ€™ll think of her
in moments
he wonโ€™t admit.
when itโ€™s dark.
when itโ€™s late.
when the phone doesnโ€™t ring.

not because she was perfect.
not because she begged.

but because
she was realโ€”
and he
wasnโ€™t ready
for that
now there’s a quiet
he can’t name
that follows him everywhere.


A man walks into a bar

And like that

All that ugly shit

Didn’t matter anymore.

Pathetic

That people will put up with betrayal and the worst crap

But not deal with a person who is angry because you hurt them

oh, Iโ€™m sorry about your fragile fucking feelings. I forgot I canโ€™t tell you how I feel because youโ€™re all about you. I forgot itโ€™s your world. I just live not even in it but next to it.

Dumb.

Yes I am dumb for putting up with this crap

No one has ever made me feel so lame

All because I cared

Well you killed that now

Nothing feels as good as not wanting someone who can’t see what they do to make people go away.

I was only angry when I cared

Now I see that you are not good to me

And with that

I don’t.

You made it easier and easier to leave you alone

Forever.

I deserve better than someone who makes excuses for everything and I’m Supposed to understand, but when I say anything of a high feel, you just fucking blow up so fuck it no one that donโ€™t want that. Youโ€™re not a good person.

Ha do you see how you started this

If you cared you would show it

Who we are inside matters

And you hurt me because you have done things that have made me not trust.

I’m always in the dark

And you ignore me like I deserved it even before all of this

I wanted to give you all of me

But you can’t even be a better person and be different

No one else likes to make me feel so alone and in the dark

So it doesn’t matter

You are condescending and cruel

And I’ve been through too much to be mad at you. You just don’t care and you never will

So why did I?

I’ve been going through a lot

But you don’t even care

You’re so selfish

Now I really don’t care about anything you do because you’re not caring abs kind. And you’ll never see how selfish HOW REALLY SELFISH YOU ARE.

I’m kind but when I’m not there a reason.

Maybe people just get fed up with you because of how selfish you are.

YOU’RE SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

THAT IT KILLS ME

HOW UGLY YOU HAVE BEEN TO MY FEELINGS.

Never again

You never appreciated me anyways

I just wanted to be loved.

What you’ll never see

Is an I’ve ever wanted was some consistency in my life from someone

I know you felt that with someone at some point

It sucks to not be able to count on anyone

You give a piece of yourself to

And they can’t even see

How little I ask for…

In return

You are not my person

All you’ve give me

Was the fear to ever give that part of me

To someone who can’t even give the bare minimum back.

But you act like I ask for too much

When what have you ever done for me just because you wanted to? Just because you cared? Just becsuse you wanted to see make me happy just to make me happy- without wanting anything in return.

You can’t even communicate just to help make me feel safe

You always do what you want

Has anyone’s feelings every mattered to you- until you made them feel like they had to go away?

You hurt people

By being so not fully there

And I can’t pretend like that’s okay

I am nice

But you don’t care about me the way I care about you

And you’ve exhausted my love and care.

When it’s you crying because you gave a part of yourself to someone who couldn’t care less about how you feel

You won’t be better

You’ll just be selfish

Becsuse you dint think that someone could actually love you and be hurt by the things you do (or don’t do)

There’s no point even trying with you.

Youโ€™re a dick

And when shit stops working out for you

You can feel how youโ€™ve made me feel

Seems like thatโ€™s the only way you learn

Also I said I wanted to see you but my room was a mess

Wtf

Fuck it

I have people who appreciate me

That can take care of both things I need right now.

Here I go. ,.
