Merry Go Round
Our love was like a merry go round.
I didn't see it then, but I understand now.
I was so caught up.
You spun your web, and around I went.
I let you trap me.
I didn't want to get off, because I knew what awaited me.
I didn't want to be dizzy out of love, but it was okay while in it.
So, I just let you take us around, and around.
I didn't care where we went.
I guess I knew that just like a merry go round, I knew we were always in circles.
Nothing was ever resolved.
We just...

Not an era, but a chapter.
I never know how to reply to what you say. So, I usually just end up grabbing a pen, and pouring my emotions on a paper, before they engulf me completely. It's like you whispered in God's ear when you met me, and determined ahead of time all the ways to make me feel everything I was always so afraid to feel. You're right, you do know me. Our thoughts are generally entwined, and when they aren't, they aren't strangling us like others before us have struggled with. I thought that the dependency I was becoming accustomed to was dangerous. I know I have said this before, but I honestly can't...

I can't anymore.
I may be relapsing.
You never heard about the last time because it was so bad that I couldn't bare to write about it.
It was like taking a jagged razor and dipping it in salt, and swallowing it. I wanted to slice myself open from the inside out. The option still sounds better than how I feel now. My hands are too heavy to drag across the keys. My heart is to broken for anyone to try and console me. I want to become lost, but I keep finding myself. I feel myself always about to cry, and I am so scared that the wrong person is going to see me break. Emotions are the types of things...

welcome to life
In the end it doesn't matter what accomplishments you have made. All that matters is the bubbles you filled in on the answer chart. It matters what information you regurgitated back to your teachers, and how well you memorized what they wanted you to know. It's not about the depth of your person, or even your knowledge. It's all about appeasing the man. If you don't, then you're in a sad state. Your entire fate comes down to numbers on a paper. Your entire school career is summed up in one paper that is known as the infamous transcript. Maybe the people in the positions to get to college are...

Lava
I have never been written about. I didn't know what to think when I navigated to your page, and what I found was the sweetest thing in my entire world. I don't know what I ever did to deserve what we had now, maybe it was all of the shit I went through pre-relationship. But now here we are, all is forgiven, none ever forgotten. I can honestly say I don't see a post-relationship ever again. People have said to me that your first relationship isn't the last one, or that your second is your true love. I can agree and disagree with them very easily. You are my first everything, except...

unorthodox love
I love you so much. You honestly have no idea. I know I am such an asshole sometimes, and I know that I am the worst at expressing things, but Jesus, you took my heart. You honestly just came into my life at a time that I thought I would never be able to attract anyone. I had no faith in myself, and I just didn't love me. You came in here, and you messed me up. I mean you completely messed up my head. You made me fall in love, and then you acted like you didn't want me, and I was done. And then something happened. And you came back. You came back, and picked my up by my heartstrings and...

Runaway
***NOTE****
There is a separation between the two major paragraphs because it was originally written without the beginning. Also, the original has certain parts that are italicized and bolded to indulge more into the story, I guess. Anyway, if you would like to see that, you can email me @ jdb7738@icloud.com and I will email it to you. As always, I hope you all enjoy it, if not leave feedback, and let me know what you think. And as always, don't be rude. Thank you. Lots of love, and good thoughts for you all.
She’s breaking.
She might not have a reason, but she’s failing...

psychiatrist
He told me I was seeming more and more depressed lately, and when he said that the tiny tear warriors starting beating on the back of my throat, threatening to release small sobs.
I knew he was right, but who wants to actually admit they have a problem.
He told me to get happy, and I laughed; because it isn't really my place anymore to decide to be happy, but I was laughing, so I guess that's victory for him.
It's not like I'm a wreck all the time, but occasionally I can't hide it anymore.
My brain stops producing happy thoughts.
My eyes get hollow, and whatever life...
