breakups

When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.

UnWanted Chapter 6
The next morning I woke up at my house still basking in the glow of the open mic night. Sharla drove me home and she ended up spending the night. I could hear her in my kitchen cooking brunch. The smell of bacon, eggs, and pancakes enveloped my home with love and peace.

To the Toxic friend that wants me back.
It's over, In fact it's been over a long time. I've deleted your number. You aren't on anybodies social media anymore, and all of your pictures have been thrown out or put away. Those who are still friends with you know not to bring you up around me and those who do bring it up, I answer, non-maliciously "Oh, we don't talk anymore." Or a simple "We just didn't work out."

The Song That Saved Me
It was September 2017 and I was falling out of love. We had been dating for over two years now and I was slowly, begrudgingly coming to the realization that alcohol was more important to him that I was. How did I know? Vodka. Straight vodka 24/7. I would find the empty bottles under our bed, I'd reach for a water bottle and find vodka inside instead of water. He insisted on drinking the day of his surgery and whenever I tried encouraging him to quit, it was always my fault when he would start up again. The man I thought I knew, thought I was in love with, didn't exist. And yet I stayed. Why? Because that is the nature of abuse. He blamed me for everything that went wrong with his failed sobriety but only after two years of a loving relationship. I was brainwashed. I was being told that I was the toxic one and that I was the failure but also that he didn't want to lose me. That we could work this out and it wouldn't be like this forever because it hadn't been like this until now. Anyway, it was September and I, being a huge lovatic (Demi Lovato fan) ever since Camp Rock in 2008,

To my first ex boyfriend
I thought you were joking when you said you wanted to break up. You were joking the first time. You were always joking around, making me feel so gullible.

He's One of The Good Ones
Have you ever met a good one? There were many times I felt I had a good one. Do you know how magicians fool you with their tricks into believing an illusion? Men can do that. It took me a while to truly see that he wasn’t an illusion and it wasn’t smoke and mirrors. It took me a while to see my wrongs and how I lost him. For the one who gets him next, I want you to know he’s one of the good ones and I let him slip through my fingers and he’s worth holding on to. Don’t make my mistakes. Don’t be looking at these jesters while the king is trying to place the crown on that beautiful head of yours.

Haunted by the ghost of my ex
Have you felt so lost without someone. It's like you can't even do one simple task without thinking about them. Just when you think you are finally over it, moving on and regaining yourself, feeling alive again. Something switches and everything that was hits you all over again. The more I try to cut him and keep him out of my life only seems to be making things worse.

Nightmare

An Open Letter to You.
I just ruined another relationship because of my lovely condition you would always refer to as "crazy". What I want to know is was I really crazy thinking you were cheating? It didn't seem like it when I caught you. But what's even worse is the fact that I punished another man for your sins when he would never do what you did. I set at home wondering what he's doing when he's with his friends. I wonder every second of everyday if I'm good enough for him and if I'm being cheated on. You did that to me. You want to talk about being crazy... you made me that way. But, this isn't a rant about the wrong you did, it's an open letter to you about how I'm growing stronger everyday with this.
