unhinged after years, the guilt trips have ceased to work. i will always hope you are ok but i don't need to share details anymore. my shared details have been used against me one too many times. 160315

raze he sent me this long email telling me how bad he felt about being a neglectful friend. as if he ever was my friend in the first place.

i had to read it twice before i noticed he didn't once ask me how i was doing or what was new with me. it was all about him. the message hidden behind the words was, "come back and let me use you again."

i've played that game before. i'm not playing anymore.
