Redemption: Of Course It’s Hard… All Worthwhile Journeys Are.

He is not interested in your redemption. They can do that, you know? Move on. Just like that. And it seems so wrong and unfair and it hurts. And no matter how many times you call him, no matter how many times you lay your heart at his feet and open your arms and show him your truest, most ...

To the Lover Who Didn’t Know How to Be Loved.

I could be, and in all likelihood am, waiting for something that is never going to come. Then the reality sets in: I am loving someone who doesn’t want to be loved.

Picking up the Pieces.

Transforming the lies and betrayal was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I had to rebuild the sense of who I was and my value to my own life.

This Is How We Love Now.

With the hope of something that will last without ever having to put in the work. With the dream of a love like our grandparents.

Dancing Across Loneliness: The End of Beginnings and the Hope of Goodbye.

In the buttery, iron taste of the aftermath, food will not fill me. A pill will not clear me of this, and sleep does not always lend itself to rest. The frothing surface of lingering promises shields the unknown sediment, sinking below. Every lie we tell ourselves haunts me, ripping apart my heart.

Playing Hide And Seek With Memories Of You.

So maybe I don't want to forget you. Maybe I'm secretly still looking for you. Hoping desperately to find you in a place you wouldn't (couldn't) even know to hide. It's likely that I'll continue to torture myself with this game forever.
