VIII Years.
By ColorMeToxic
I am a sucker for green eyes
most especially, yours.
I could get lost in them forever
feeling safe from the storm.
with your strong arms around me
you're holding me tight.
and
for one moment, it feels
like my world is alright...
but
you showed me paradise
and then burned it to the ground.
you
made it hard for me to trust
myself, to know who I am.
I had
no self esteem because
you took it away.
did you really fucking
think
that I would always stay?
the look in your eyes
said
you knew it was coming.
so why were you shocked that
your whole world was crumbling?
you have to pick yourself up
and doctor your wounds.
know that...I did it too and,
it was
because of you.

Flirtations, jealousy, criticality, all acts of immaturity that we hopefully outgrow - eventually. Thanks for this slice of life.
