[I still remember.]
Your face used to be carved into
Every mountain.
I used to [hallucinate]
Your presence;
You were right next to me,
Your sarcasm sticking to me like
Velcro.
That was when I was afraid to
Love you
And too naiive to let you
Go.
And I used to write sad poetry about you,
How your infidelities
Forced me to
Cry on sunny days; and cut on rainy ones.
Pain never came to me until
[Those days.]
But when you were the
Pain; I was willing to put myself
Though it, and endure the needles
Protruding from your hand.
I would still hold it.
[I just made sure I didn’t get any blood on you.]
That was just too far.
The other girls wanted you so bad
But you were mine.
[Or so I thought...]
When I was walking with you;
Hugging you, loving you,
You seemed so whole, like an
Impassable wall;
You were [there] but I could only see
Half of you.
And your other half seemed not so
Faithful, not so whole,
As [my] half of you did.
Your actions would call to me.
[After all actions speak louder than words.]
And your words were yelling to me.
But I chose not to hear them.
And look where it got me.
I carved lines into my arm
[Blaming it on anything but you.]
I thought if you saw my pain
Then you would stop
Other girls didn’t have feelings;
Or atleast I wish you would think that.
I wanted you to want me.
Your arms were so strong feeling,
I wished I could have you hold me
Forever.
But nothing is forever.
Even love.
You proved to me that my father was right
When he told me
[There’s no such thing as love.]
And both of you promised me your
Honesty, but
x.You.still.lied.darling.x
Those other girls weren’t
Hallucinations.
I don’t know what I fell in love with
Those [long] five months.
EDIT: I don’t know why I’m [still]
In love with you.
I fell upon the floor
And you walked away from me
As if you didn’t even
Know my name.
My trustworthy razor blade
Was the only creature to listen to me.
I confided the world in it that night,
With you never to hear what I said,
And you never there to help me clear up the blood
Trailing down my
Arm.
Cutting hurt in ways
You couldn’t show me.
[But the pain somehow filled the void you left.]
When I heard that you were
“Doing stuff” with the
Other girls from school,
You know the whorish ones;
I couldn’t eat
I couldn’t sleep.
The words seemed to
Pierce
Right through me.
But something odd happened.
Something not quite right.
Darling, [baby],
I missed you.
And I wasn’t about to let you go.
[And the funny thing is, in the end, it was me who dumped you. Apparently there was no guilt. Just please, tell me why you never left.]
Author notes
My favorite color is [green.]
And I love him again.
But this time;; he loves me.

You know once upon a time I stuck around for this. Complete with the urge to harm myself to numb the emototional pain. It's very brave of you to write about this and share it with others. I do commend you. And I really think this should be titles "x.You.still.lied.darling.x". Thanks for entering and good luck.
