Let Love Bleed - September Stories

How could it end this way?

I thought I had done everything right.

I thought I had been what you needed

It makes it hard to believe when you let your infatuations destroy the hope

that we were built on

But darling, was it not to me that you claimed your love for?

And was it not to

me that you would have laid down your life for?

I can hardly envision a time when I felt as strongly as you have.

And I wish I could have the compassion that you showed for me.

All I wanted

was for you to be happy.

For us to have made something of this life that no one

thought that we could

Is giving in what you call happiness?

Letting our dreams to rot along with

everything that we had stood for

This isn’t how I wanted it to end.

I never meant to hurt the only one who

brought peace and acceptance into my life

I can’t promise you a life that, you’re going to love.

I can’t promise you a

life that you’ll even be proud of.

I’ve got enough stained memories to realize

the good from the bad, and I’ve got enough scars to know that you weren’t the

one causing them.

I know I’ve done you wrong, but I swear it’ll be different

this time

If past memories have taught me anything… It's the fact that people don’t

change…

You’ve kept your mind closed like it would bring some sort of comfort

Like shutting yourself off from the world around you would make you the person

you dreamed of being

But spending your nights door-to-door watching your innocence flee isn’t the

life that you had dreamed of

Waiting for the next numbing substance so that you get through another night

You’ve let the voices in your head ring out so long that they begin to become

the truth

If life is but a dream, how do we decipher what’s real and what lives in our

heads?

Chalking off a memory to something we thought we had wanted

Taking those 4 AM nights to remind you of a time when you felt purpose and

fulfillment, instead of what you call home

And I know that you had wanted more (Wanted more)

But I gave all that I had (All that I had)
