It's not fxcking fair.
We broke up so long ago. So long ago. And I hate to admit it, but til today, you still have a power over me.
You called just now, because you needed to take your anger out on someone. The really sad part is, I let you. I tolerate all the things you say, even the nice ones because I know they're lies, because you still have that control of me.
Did it even occur to you what I went through for you? How the things you put me through hurt me and still affect me til today? I don't even know how deep you've gone. But I know that because of you, I'm terrified of people I love suddenly not loving me anymore - even if I've been told that's not true. Because of you, I'm terrified of being imperfect because I wasn't good enough for you, and you made me think I wasn't good enough for anyone. Because of you, I don't fight back often. Because of you, I always get around to hating and blaming myself for everything that's out of my control. Because of you, I let people toy around with how I feel, saying they love me one minute and yelling at me the next. Because of you, I've forgotten how it feels like to be in control of myself, because I operate on other people's emotions and thoughts. And because of you, I can't connect the dots between love and intimacy, because you made me feel like it was one or the other.
You told me I was never gonna be perfect in anyone's eyes, that people only liked me because I bent over backwards for them, that I had to do so many things just to hear you say,"I love you," til it didn't mean a thing, that no one would love me, even that people talked to me because they felt sorry for me and the fact that I was a loner.
All these things are lies, and yet I feel them constantly echoing in my head. Do you know that everytime I see a lover walk away, or a friend, I break down worse than I should? Do you know how often I hate everything about myself? And how, when someone says they don't love me, even while they're holding my hand, I'm so used to it that I can't even bring myself to blame them for once? I don't care who stops me anymore, this is how I feel, now.
I'm sick of being at your mercy. Everytime you verbally abused me, or took out your anger on me, and yes I still remember how it felt, and everytime your moodswings turned violent, I just stood there and believed it was my fault. Fxck you.
I don't know, do any of you understand? And if you do, how do you get out of it?
I miss B... I miss that warmth and that familiarity. I really don't know how I'd get used to anyone else.
Whoa, I want to hate you half as muchAs I hate myselfAnd know that I could crush you with my voice.
