jezabel you have me
silly as a school girl.
i blush enough to burn
and bury my face in my shoulder,
giggling, aghast at mischief's misfire,
not a minute left, but
thirty seconds worth of words
lopped neatly at the end.

in memory's distortion
i am boorish brute, not kissed with
emotion, imagination, or lust
because of the "thinking of..."
that never had a chance
to form on lips and pour,
parting gift, the quick caress
so you would know what lovelies lurked.

i would gladly self-immolate
over this breach of Being
but for your smile when you see
sheepish grin, giggling apologies;
even though my essence was amputated,
i trust you to understand.

Life goes easy on me

Most of the time

I finally did it, I cut him off. I deleted him from my phone, from my lists, from my life. I told him to tell me if he'll be back next year, because if so I won't be.

I need my soul again, oh god, I need to heal.

I miss my mother so much.

A friend of mine wrote tonight that she feels empty in a way that money can't fill. And I feel empty too, but a timeworn empty. Because in talking to James last night I heard him say things that were sick. And it was all so expected, the same sucking leeching feeling. The feeling of invasion, of erosion. The slow wear of a long-burning ache.

And I wanted to be invaded for so long, I wanted that feeling of being cracked open by him, a slim hard tool, a lock pick. But the desire might be gone, it might not be there anymore. I feel so closed to him now. And it's sad, sad to lose that feeling of openness. Of vulnerability. I loved trusting him, even though he betrayed me at every turn.

"She is so good for me."
~and then~
"When you wear your hair up, all I can think of his how much I want to kiss your neck."

And I heard it, how sick he is. It's as though a mechanism is broken. A click should happen, a guard should be up, a failsafe between him and me that is never ever there.

And I do hope he will leave me alone. I do hope that he will just leave me be.

Please leave me be, you fucking freak of an asshole. You broken, sick thing.

I finally realized, that while I have bruises from unnamed sharp corners, and open wounds from the fiercest of battles, I am not broken.

I love too much.
