To the boy I hurt dearly:
I. I could see you never deserved me but that would just be an excuse for what I did. You did deserve me, and you deserved all my love.
II. My heart breaks for you over and over again every time I replay the emptiness your voice held when you shut down and away from me the night you found.
III. I tried and tried to find the right way to fight for you so that you’d stay. But every way seemed wrong.
IV. Apologies will never fix the way I hurt you and I’m foolish to ask for your forgiveness because I wouldn’t forgive you either.
V. I’m a selfish girl. Greedy for attention and affection, I crave it. I could say he gave me what you didn’t but I’d be lying because you gave me all I would ever need. I’m just the kind of person who thinks she always needs more.
VI. Don’t you dare for a second think you weren’t good enough for me. That I did this because you weren’t enough. I did this for my own ignorant reason and in no life time should you ever feel the guilt of my actions.
VII. I wish you still believed I love you because I do. I wish I had woken up before I let you down and broke your soul Because I’ve always loved you and I always will.
VIII. I miss you. And if you ever read this and get the slightest glimpse of light in your heart, please come back.
This hits close to home. Solid write. Thank you very much for sharing such raw emotion.
