subjective in nature.

By eidos




I used to believe that watching the person you loved, cry
was the worst feeling in the world. Until I watched her scream
that she hated who I made her become.
The way her lips curled in pure anger as the words reached into my chest.
I hated who I became at that moment, the way I turned stone-like
and just watched as she turned to leave. The way I felt it in every muscle in my body
that I wanted to reach out and stop her, but my pride wouldn't let me.
The way that my hands stayed at my sides,
it made me realize that the worst feeling in the world
is not feeling at all.

    The burdens of regret & pride at its prime. Such is life. I was here at one point.

LOL. cool write. thanks.
