you haunt me.
21 years after i lost you
you still haunt me.
am i ridiculous?
why can’t i let go?
you did.
you left me.
even though i was the one
who got on the greyhound bus.
…every time i left you
i left you for someone
who wasn’t even half of who you are.
that should have said something
about how fucked up
i was.
and how much i wanted to destroy
myself.
when you left me
it was for a wife,
and some would say
you gave me too many chances
before leaving.
but in the end,
you did leave
and leave me
haunted.
if i ever had a heart
i lost it
when i lost you.
if i ever was
able to love,
it was only to fail
at loving you.
the universe’s way of kicking me down
when i boasted
that i didn’t believe in regrets
living my life without regrets
until i realized that my life is one big
regret.
regret…
i burned every picture
i ever had of you.
every
single
one.
cutting you out
and leaving myself alone
in an attempt
to get over you
but only making my regret
that much bigger
and myself
that much more alone.
haunted.

The universe kicks everyone around. It tries to kill all of us. I think that’s how it plays, but chipping away at us a little at a time. The thing is, I laugh in its face because I’ll never admit it matters to me. When I die, however, I’m going to try and kill it. That makes me happy. 🙂

Oh, good. We need to laugh more:) LOLOL Hang in there and fight back. I think we’re someone’s science project, like an ant farm but for humans. Instead of an aquarium we’re stranded on a planet. Same difference.
