A void.
I thought I was fixing the broken pieces in my heart,
turns out I was creating illusions in order to feel whole again.
Will it ever be fixed?
I’m happy, I’m living, I’m alive again
but it all feels like I’m floating in a life that isn’t mine.
I’m lost with you, but not in the way that we’d find a map and be okay
I’m lost in the way we used to be
and how hurt I’ve been,
I can’t find the words to express the mess that’s in my brain that has its own fog
and I probably sound crazy. I should be happy.
But you’re the empty space I want to fix,
though I missed my chance it seems
you’re happy without me.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
