What Loving You Felt Like

We Exchanged Such Beautiful Words

You Were It

It Was Blinding

It Was

It Was Isolating

It Was My Greatest Sin

But It Was a Pleasure

Even the Things I Knew Were Not Real

You Were My God When I Believed in None

It Had Always Been Laced with a Tragic Ending

The Scars Were Too Visible to Ignore

What You Turned Me Into Was So Strange

Happily Ever Afters—We Learned the Hard Way They Don’t Exist

One Day with a Lot of Pain We Found This Happiness, This Idea of Perfection

The End?

Pure Anguish

The Voices Awakened with Your Leave

Insane Much?

You Thought I Would Always Be There at Your Beck and Call

With Your Leave, I Saw Things

I Saw the Many Nights I Waited

I Remembered a Night When I Did Attempt It Or Thought I Would, Or at Least Wanted To

I Found a Strength in Knowing You Were a False God

You Were My Drug; My First Step to Recovery, Admitting It

Slowly, the Impossible Became Truth

Whose Loss Was I Mourning?

I Stopped Being Scared of the Dark a Long Time Ago, but Now

It’s Knowing They’re in My Head

It Would Be a Crime to Let It All Fall upon You

Many Just Thought I Was a Bit Sad

Nobody Seemed to Think That She Needed Help

And So I Cried

In the Later Future, You Will Ask, How Were We Supposed to Know?

Again, the Voices, They Spoke

The Voices Always Had Different Faces

I Was Just Too Used to You

I Found Warmth in the Cold

It Has Become Very Compelling

But Again, I Came Back to You

I Dreamt of Nonexistence

I Examined My Choices; They Weren’t Really Wrong, Were They?

And Again

In the Overpowering Shadows of Lost Lovers, a Light Flickered

I Was Forced to See That You Too Felt Pain

She Was Just as Lost as I

With All This Pain I Had to Question, Why Does It Exist?

Is Human Error Not Everywhere?

And Again

In My Solitude, I Questioned Myself

I Told Myself

I Wanted to Believe I Was Okay

Lord, How Much Will Do I Have?

Survive the World, but Most Survive Ourselves

And Again

Being Able to See the Happiness We Held and Not Kill for It

Push Out the Bad Thoughts, and Learn to Survive without a Heart

With Such Things Faith Was Tested

But with Every Waking Minute, I Seemed to Fall Further

Cope with Feeling Something

In Trying to Accept the Pain, I Retouched Every Scar, Even
