as in you drive me crazy.

 

so this isn't healthy. what are you doing about it on your end?

you don't even check this goddamned blog--and the only reason it exists is because you wanted it.

i'm not even special in that regard. you told all your girlfriends that you wanted a blog to share together.

 

why don't you just go away, like you are determined to.

 

it's easy for you to say you can take me with you--but you can't promise me that you will take care of me fully.

 

you are breaking me down.

scratch that--you've broken me already.

 

i thought it would be alright, to rise from the ashes, like a phoenix from the flames.

 

but all i feel is emptiness, worry, and shame.

i am ashamed to be alive.

i would really rather just jump off the 6th floor, in a tragic display. no one would really be affected anyway.

 

maybe my parents would.

maybe Braulio would--but he is so emotionally distraught over all the things I have failed to do for him.

 

i don't even feel the urge to bother telling you about how downtrodden i feel--because i do not want to bring you down lower than i have already brought you.

 

maybe you would be better without me, rolan. maybe your dreams would be better if they unfolded without me making you feel horrible.

 

that's all i do, isn't it? drag you down, burden you, and make you angry and frustrated?

 

after all, what remains crystal clear is that you don't need me.

 

there's the rub, i guess. i am working at a permanent disadvantage.

 

i need you for strength--but you are strong enough to teach me these painful lessons, knowing fully well that you are doing this to satiate your need to assert your superiority over me.

 

i need you for guidance--and you often relegate the task of helping me to second place, whereas making me feel terribly wrong always comes first.

 

i need you for companionship--but i can only see you at your convenience. you bring me home, and i am grateful, but it is so painful to even have to ask sometimes. i'd rather just start secretly commuting and lying to everyone AGAIN.

 

the best part is that you make me feel so horrid for these things that i do to you, when i do not mean you any harm. sige lang, call me a flirt. i thought you understood that i was so different before, and that i still sometimes don't respond appropriately. but wait, i have filled up your shit cup and i can no longer remove it. you said you would try, but you aren't. even if you are, i don't see it. you make me feel useless and meaningless. your words are what make me want to kill myself. there, i said it.

 

i love you more than anyone in the world, but you are also killing me--not softly, very very harshly.

 

 

i thought maybe there was still some hope--some space, and some tenderness you could show me.

 

but maybe there is nothing left.

you said that there are no erasures.

 

where do i go from here?

what else can i do?

 

your obsession with organic action leaves an ignoramus like me completely dumbfounded. and i am at an impasse.

 

i can't even bring myself to debate because you make me feel insufficient.

 

oh btw, my eyeball, it's acting up again. maybe this is blindness. maybe there would be poetic justice in my loss of sight. i mean, it's appropriate right? i don't see things clearly anyway.

 

and i will stop eating again. it's a waste of money anyway. and people like me more when i'm thin. never-you-mind that i could develop ulcers or become more easy-to-rape by being weak and useless.

 

it sickens me that i would rather hurt myself than hurt you--but the fact of the matter is that you come first now, you even come before me.

 

that makes me crazy.

 

i'm fucking insane for you, and you don't even know how to keep me from jumping over the edge.

 

you are the only one pushing now.

 

what are you going to do?

Heartsongs

We love music, don't we?
These are the lyrics of my heart, as sung by others.

Smile Upon Me--Passion Pit

"And you're the best damn friend that I'll ever have
You always smile upon me when the season's bad
You always make me feel best when I'm feeling blue
You always smile upon me and I'll smile upon you."

I will take each opportunity to make you happy.
Give me an opportunity, I'll take it.

It only takes a split second to forget that you're hurting.
Give me a second. I'll make the best out of it.

Let me make you smile, and let me keep you smiling, Rolan. Smiling from deep within.


At Last--Etta James

"At last, my love has come along. My lonely days are over, and life is like a song.
At last, my love has come along. MY heart is wrapped in clovers, and you are mine alone."

Braulio and I jammed to this song.

It was so glorious! You may not have heard my singing, but I was singing for you.

I would love to sing endlessly for you, Rolan. You make my spirit sing.


Islands--The XX

"I am yours now, so I never have to leave.
I've been found now, so now I'll never explore."

I am sorry if the person I was disappoints you.

Please know that this person is gone. I only echo her memory involuntarily. I am sorry.

I do not want to be her anymore. I have committed first degree murder. I killed her. She is dead and gone.

I am a new me; a better me.

This is a version of me that is stronger, wiser, more beautiful inside.

I am the version of me that you can love.

Love me, Rolan. I dream to be the woman you need.


Without Melody--Dani

"Words overwhelm, but sometimes there are no words. Nothing describes how you shake me.
You rock me to my core, and I can't explain it.
Trust fades, but sometimes all we can do is trust. This is real and you know it.
You make me believe again. Let's make it happen.
There is nothing else but you now. All I dream of is to be yours.
Until time is through, I want to be yours.
Words overwhelm, but sometimes, the only word left is love."

These are the lyrics of my heart, as sung by me, without melody.

There is no melody to complement the weight of these words.

There are only words. This is only love.

No melody can give justice to these words.

I won't even try.

Sleep well, and sweet dreams, Rolan. If only for thirty minutes.

That is all you need.

Your determination will push you through.

Your strength will wield power over your body, and you'll be fine.

All else considered, let our love be your fuel. Our love will energize you.

The only word left is love.

I love you, Rolan. You are my world.

This is the song of my heart. I only sing these words for you.

it's nice to have an uppity mood, even when everything should be dragging me down.

 i have so much shit to do, it's not funny. i have to make a psych COMMERCIAL (wtf. as if it's going to increase my learning curve), do a qualitative research on doctor-nurse ofws, learn how to jump rope like a professional (why the hell did i pick running for pe), attend 2 boringgg lectures on why the world is flat, clean up after the mess that ads has made, and (here's my favorite) act like a biblical scholar and write an extensive paper on the passion and death of Jesus Christ.

 but i'm happy.

 i've spent more time with my friends in the past 2 weeks than i did over the past year, i've reaffirmed my capacity to reel in cute boys, and i've severed most of my connections with an unhealthy-for-me friendship. i'm happy.

hoorah. :D
