Find Me

The pain in your soul was fuel for the fire in my heart.

It nourished my desire to love every broken fragment of you that much more.


You said you would destroy my heart. I said worse than you have tried and failed.

I was wrong .

You were right.


You said I was too good for you. I said I was too good to you because you were too good too me.

You were right.

I was wrong


Pain was too normal to you.

You feared being OK because you forgot how it felt.

The blackness was more familiar than the light.


You destroyed my heart only because I loved you more than you could handle.

I scared you away.

I hate myself for not seeing it.


I was too good for you only because you perceived yourself as being bad for me.

I hated you for seeing it like that.


Find peace.

Find love.

And if you can find neither of these...

Please...

Find me.

Author's Note
This is about my struggle with an ex- girlfriends struggle with mental illness. At the time I was very sure of my ability to be attentive to someones emotional state, but this girl in particular showed me how unprepared I was for real life. I'll never be able to thank her enough for that experience.
