Shot in the heart.

You chose dancing over me, over us.
Those words pierced through my heart as if each one was a bullet. Sending shivers throughout my body as though I'm experiencing a seizure, gasping for air every second. My tear ducts turn into a broken faucet that can't be shut off. Short, pitch wails escape my mouth as I try to shut up and stay strong but I'm not just crying, I'm mourning over us. Not only did you betray me, you stabbed me multiple times and let go of my hand on numerous occasions. Why did I trust you, why did I let my guard down, why did I become this way? Each time I inhale it feels like my heart is being mutilated. My head is so light, I'm able to tip over and collapse. Maybe it's from the dehydration, maybe it's from the shock, maybe it's from the pieces of my heart stabbing my other organs. I haven't been like this for three years. Why must you bring this horrid emotion back? I feel so lonesome, so unwanted, so isolated. Why must I keep getting hurt and betrayed. Why can't I just be a normal happy girl? I should've learned my lesson from last time, why did I give love another go? I'm so foolish, I should've known. I should've looked back upon the wound graced across my chest, scaring my once pure heart into an ugly thing deformed with hatred, vengeance, and depression. Here comes another mark upon the canvas, making it even more revolting.

I'm tired, worn down and out. Dance to your heart's content, dance until your legs ache, dance until you die. I won't interfere. Indulge in whatever, neglect whatever. I won't say anything. Just don't expect me to be behind the scene cheering you on. Don't get upset when you see me communicating with other guys and not with you. It's what you chose.  

I don't know.

Why I'm still here asking stupid questions.

Done.

Why should I be sadden?
Why should I be upset?
Why should I be heartbroken?

I try so hard to give up and walk away yet I'm always back to square one.

Why did I have to care?
Why did I let you into my life?
Why did I have to love?

All its caused me are pain and tears.

Sick.

Waiting; 
by the phone for a call, text, anything,
on the driveway to see you pull up,
in the darkness.

Fearing,
whenever I speak my mind,
when I show anger,
you might hurt me.

Missing you every second of the day when we're not together, but you don't feel that way. I plead for more time but you just walk away. Frustrated that I made you late, that I cling. Are you fearing for independence? I'm not worrying about getting cheated on. Why would I have to? Because that would just be another reason to leave this relationship that's made me fear and cry. 


 Screw it. Gonna go watch family guy, play pokemon and chess. Throw in the towel, call it a day.

Can't lose yo pride.

Because I'm a disgrace.

La-la-lasagna.

So, my boyfriend and I haven't been in the kitchen together lately. You know what that means? 

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME, 

PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

jk.

 In the winter we made about six dishes yet throughout spring and summer we have yet to step back into the kitchen. Been going out for sushi and such often that we forgot the enjoyment of cooking{and the high retail price!). 

But - tada! We're back and ready. Will be trying this out once my ulcers clear up and fully heal so about in a month or two? Only when they're long and gone! I'm still suffering painfully and work doesn't help and the fact that I fell into hunger and ate salty food at work. :'(
