286.
you've lied.
you've manipulated me.
but god forbid that you actually love me.
287.
why couldn't my love be enough for you?
why did you always have to want more?
more than me.
288.
I deserve better.
But god, how much I did want you.
~E, I wanted you to be better.
289.
A hole was left in my chest when we cut contact.
As if you took part of me with you once it was all said and done.
I felt so empty, so hollow.
You walked away from me just as you've done times and time before.
It was as if you weren't bothered whether or not I was in your life or not.
As if you didn't care.
As if my presence didn't make a difference or not.
I don't think it ever did.
~E, I miss us.
290.
I think I cried when you left.
The whole body cry.
The one that leaves you shaking afterwards.
The one you feel with your whole body and soul.
I knew how it felt to be replaced.
But I never would expect that you would make me used to this feeling.
I thought you'd never leave.
Just for someone who didn't stay.
~E, replaced by someone who didn't stay.
