i

love you,

very much. and

i know

i

have not

been effective at

my demonstration; to show

you that, amidst

my digestion.

and

if you

had your way,

my invalidated emotions, hurt

with a real-time distance,

to reinforce myself,

and stand.

Fuck,

i appreciate

you taking those

first steps,

both

literally and

figuratively in this

make physical

you, and

go

fuck yourself.

    This is such an honest mix of love and frustration. I can feel the tension between wanting them and knowing it’s not good for you. It’s raw and real, and I think a lot of people can relate to that feeling.
