if you can't let it be, might as well make it bleed

it should have healed by now. i suppose i didn't take proper care, i suppose i let the raw air of indifference take its toil against the surface, i suppose i let regret fester until it infected every inch of the wound you left in me. and i picked, dug my dirty fingernails in deep trying to reach the tenderness that i knew was buried under layers of ( Read more... )

Very deep. It made me remember a relationship from the past (don't know your situation, but I am glad mine is in the past). By the way-I think I might have mentioned it before-not sure-but, I added you to my list of friends since I enjoy reading you.

i think i'll be glad when i'm past all this as well. i'll add you back!

i left you a message today in an attempt to let you back in. so you could hurt me again. so you could wear down my defenses and dig deeper then i should let you, so you could leave and i could fill my solitude with thoughts of you, i could defend my misery with this old, reopened wound. i could scratch the surface every day and keep you, always.

its funny....i just did the exact same thing. left someone a message. and i know that they will do EXACTLY that.

it's even funnier how even when we "know better" we still can act just as foolishly. i hope your situation works out better than you anticipate.

thank you so much....i hope it does too. WE know better, but somehow our hearts dont? i guess i dont entirely understand how it works. but i wish i did!

hearts never seem to listen to logic or knowledge. so it goes. :)

You write beautifully -- I was reading the Northwestern LJ community entries and saw a comment from you. I will be a junior at NU this fall and will definitely be back to read more -- wow.

i'm going to be a sophomore myself. i can't wait to get back, this month of september drags along much too slowly.
