It's hard enough as it is.
Why harden my petals and
My heart for another...
A note.
Know that it's not you,
Only a representation,
And hopes she loves the idea
Of me giving you to her.
This,
Represents engagement,
If you will?
I want her to really, really, really
Love you.
Thank you for reading!

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.
