“But I will tell you this, my love.
I would break my own heart for you.”
Maybe you will understand how much I need you if I let you go. Not for my sake, but for yours. Maybe you will see how much I burden you with my demons. My darkness. And maybe, at first, you’ll think I’m just trying to pull away. Or maybe, you’ll let go of my hand and let me go without hesitation.
I’m not sure which would hurt me the most. But I will tell you this. If it would make you happier, I would willingly break my own heart. I would do that for you. I would let you go, if only to give you a chance to be free. Free from my dark. Free from my broken soul. Free from me.

So tell me, do you think
your life would be
brighter without me?

Sometimes (most of the time) I do feel broken. These thoughts are often what go through my head on the bad days. But I try not to listen to them.

Man, I am going through this right now! I’m on the being left side of things because of demons and despair. I’ve been blogging about my own experience through this if you would like to check it out!
