Love and Fucks

By xX pretty vacant Xx

cord around neck...
don't let me stop you...

i'm just the one that stayed with you.
the one that held you when you were shaking
and wiped away your tears when you cried.
i'm just the one that loved you.
the one that breathed you in when you held me close
and tried to hold on to that forever.
i'm just me.
so don't let me stop you.

i'm just the one that read that note and cried.
the one that got comforted by a thousand faceless people
but didn't hear a single one.
i'm just the one that got left behind.

and you're behind the screen
but i still see you.
every single time i dream.

i still feel you in every single tear.

and i hear your voice
over
and
over
again
saying those three words.
that meant so much to me
but must have meant
nothing
to you.

you're sorry it hurt?
then why even do it...
could i have stopped you?
i didn't stop you...
don't let me stop you...
i hope you are happy now.

and for whatever it is worth,
i still miss you.

love and fucks

  • A former member wrote: yeah...wow, yeah, so true... it's pontless trying to help somebody, because they can only help themselves; and it's either they choose not to, or they don't see it that way, or they feel they're too weak... but if that were the case, why do they push away

    This is an awe inspiring display of pain and of how deep the anger and guilt can run when one leaves this life by their own hand or caused by their lifestyle choices...it sucks to be the one left behind wondering could I have done anything to stop this

    what can you do? I'm in that situation myself.. where someone close wants to end their time. I guess sometimes our love is not enough. Very touching :::OLd
