and so, here I am again with another illusion shattered. I miss the button to over and over again, mind reeling with the disillusionment— mind reeling with the truth. acceptance within reach, but… my desire prevents me from holding it. dizzy, nauseous, overwhelmed. heart beating fast. fear is surrounding me, whispers of the sick clouding my brain. I ventured in a place where I wasn’t supposed to be. I don’t want to be in that place again. the words people speak and write tell the tale, and I am willing to listen.
Day after day I stand in front of your house and wait. I look up to the window and see you. Every morning you come out and walk past me. Do you see me? I don’t know. The days go by, the leaves fall. Month after month, year after year. One day you come out and stop for a moment. You wonder.. but then you go on. Something is different, something isn’t right. But you don’t know what it is. You turn around but you don’t see me. I’m not there anymore.

“And so it seems I must always write you letters that I can never send.”
— Sylvia Plath (via quotefeeling)
Until you heal the wounds of your past, you are going to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex; But eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, Stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories and make peace with them.

I would like damn well to hear your voice again.
