Catharsis.
By Dei
Ruin me darling.
Break me. Unmake me. Take me to Far Beyond Saving.
Make me into simple things like memories and breathing.
Let me become the smell of rain drops and the feeling of cold toes.
I'll be the dimming starlight reflected in the condensation dripping from
your glasses.
Let me be as the leaves that fall and swirl, ignored as you stomp down
dirty paved roads, while kicking stones and whistling.
Turn me into the salt that burns your eyes when you decide that drowning
would be too dramatic. Or maybe I can be sea shells. Crunching glass like
beneath your bared feet and occasionally stabbing you enough to make you
bleed.
Let me be the simple. The beautiful nothings that spiral unseen all around
you.
I want to be a cigarette burn in your favorite T-shirt. And you will force
yourself to ignore it because the shirt itself was more meaningful than
me.
I want to be ruined darling.
Because you and I both know that it is only when I can be nothing to you
that I may purge myself of your existence, transcend and be freed.
So ruin me. Ruin me. Please.

This is so well-written and it makes me feel sad. Being ruined isn't the only way... You can be all of those beautiful things and more to someone that will make you forget that other someone even existed. You can be beautiful somethings, rather than beautiful nothings and be held highly. You could be someone's world. You don't have to be ruined... Great write. Just... Don't let yourself be ruined.
