I’m Not Ready To See You
Each day that goes by where I don’t text you is like a little victory.
Each day that goes by where I don’t text you is like a little victory.
You swallow the words that have tried to fight their way out. You take piping hot showers to wash away any trace of your feelings and of him.
You are a red flag I chose to ignore. A 20×20 crimson warning saying: “No! Don’t do it! Damaged upon arrival!!!”
It is four in the morning, I am sobbing so hard I can’t catch my breath, I have fresh tattoos on my wrists and all I can think about is ripping them off to see if the ink will come up with them.
15. “I’m not like other girls.”
Bullshit.
35. Clean your phone. That thing is really dirty.
3. Tinderella.
There’s no such thing as hidden meanings. You have to listen to what they say when the words come tumbling from their mouths. Even when those words taste bitter and are difficult to swallow.
9. “Why aren’t you vegan?”
You’ll be forgiven, mostly forgotten, and you’ll only exist in pieces like the remnants of a bad dream or a scar that hasn’t totally faded. But I’ll haunt you for the rest of your life.
