In another life childhood wouldn’t be a wound I took into adulthood searching for the missing pieces in the wrong people. In another life I would have found you whole, filling the void in me with a love I only dreamt of. In another life I would’ve been enough for you. In another life I would be enough for me.

I just hope delusion helps you pay your bills, & you don’t lose composure and become yourself

I don’t get much sleep, I see you in every dream

I hope that after it all, your scars heal

Most of all, I regret abandoning myself

There’s nothing like those extreme measures to prevent abandonment. Stay a while longer even though we both know our road parted long ago. While I see you every day, I miss you already. But I miss me more. So go, but stay a while longer.

I watched you fade, while keeping the lights on in this forsaken place

You rob me of my solitude but provide me with no companionship.

I know this thing is broken. So I’ve left my door wide open. I let you go to the wind, I hope it was worth it in the end

I don’t know why I expect fairness in this life when it was never promised anywhere or for anything

bestofgentleearth:

When we don’t feel loveable we settle for being needed

There ain’t no gold in this river.

That I’ve been washing my hands in forever.

there’s pain that uses you and pain that you use.

Let it hurt then let go
