if i stopped, it would never happen at all

i don't think your life would be any different if i suddenly wasn't a part of it anymore
i can't believe that this has happened

but i couldn't, i really couldn't
and you wake up in the morning to find out
you are not
you are not who
you are not who you used to be
i'm sorry.
and i swear my heart was rising in my chest
i can't remember the last time i felt that way
today was a good day
i have no reason as to why that is

i just feel, so good
i haven't had a positive entry since february 10th
i feel like shit today
and i've been feeling like shit almost every day
i spent all my money last night on things i didn't want or need
and it's funny
our blood could have been giant pools spilling over the pavement
but it didn't really matter then
it doesn't really matter now
and you know what
it feels so good to know that i can't trust a word that comes out of your fucking mouth
things aren't how they should be
i'm keeping my eyes open
and my mouth shut
let's see how long that lasts
and even after all that
"do you see him a lot? or is he not important"
"Yeah I see him almost every day. And yes. He's very important."
this is wrong and i'm sick so sick of it

it seems i have too much to think about
and not enough to say
i really needed it
i really did need you then
but it didn't happened
i'm so sick of this winter
and i'm so sick of trying
i slept badly last night
i finally woke up to stomach pains and too-bright light
and i felt totally empty
and i feel totally alone

i don't know where i am
i don't know where i've been
but i
know where i want to go
i know what i want
but i'm afraid to be so honest
i'm so much stronger now
but i'm also weaker than i've ever been
i don't even know why my feelings are so hurt by this
i can taste smoke on my lips and in my mouth and smell it on my skin
yeah, yeah, yeah

the more i try, the more i fail
i'm feeling very on-edge today
and i have no idea why
when in truth, i know exactly why
and i'm saying that as an attempt to bring my current perspective out from under the floorboards
i could not even take the last entry that i wrote - i had to delete it
i don't care how true it is
i will not put myself out there like that again
i feel like i'm constantly floating between mindsets of the extreme
the highs are the highest
the lows are the lowest
i can breathe and i feel happy
but this isn't the right kind of air
it's not too much
it's not too little
it just isn't right
but i feel so good
the weather is amazing

everything feels the way it should be
today was pretty bad
i felt more alone than i have for a long while
but for some reason i feel much better now

i've been choosing my words carefully
i am so proud of myself
i can still look at this situation and say that it's not forever
that makes me feel pretty good

i'm at a loss for words, and have been the past couple nights
there is this voice screaming i want to be a fucking island in the back of my mind
today i've gone through every emotion in the spectrum
when i woke up, i couldn't even feel anything at all
i feel so imperfect and impermanent
i'm disappointed in myself
because all of this is just because of you
if i learned to breathe on my own, i would not have to live through this over and over and over again

i thoought sacrifice might mean something
the wounds throb even though they're not real yet
would you reach inside them to uncover the secret?
you try to tell me but your tongue feels severed
