The Bibliography Of Strings

And you taught me what this feels like.
And then how it feels to lose it.
And you showed me who I wanted.
And then who I wasn't.
And you ticked every box.
And then drew a line.
And you weren't mine to begin with.
And then not to end with.
And you looked like everything I wanted.
And then became something I hated.
And you get thought of every day.
And then not in a good way.
And you let me leave.
And then wish I'd stayed.
And you almost killed me.
But I didn't die.

  5. You have no idea how much I needed this. I've been so lost in emotions lately and this helped me put some of them into actual words. Through you, of course. It's just tough lately. Trying to win someone back who once loved you. Yet, seems to only see you as nothing anymore. I was meant to find this, and read this. Thank you.

  20. I have this thing with puzzle pieces. Just a repeating theme or metaphor of pieces of puzzles. And before it was about giving people those pieces but now i'm having to get them back from someone I gave too many to. And although I may not be able to get those pieces back. It's always nice to find ones that fit just the same.

    And today you helped me get another piece back. And for this I thank you. The picture on my puzzle is getting clearer. I think it's of a girl who smiles all the time. And is starting to do so again.

  45. OMG... The words swept me away. This is just how I really feel right now. I can relate to every line and every word. And how I also wish that my special someone would read this... then maybe I will also cross his mind.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Thank you for writing the words I couldn't find.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I hope that one day he'll arrive at this point. Because about a year ago, I was that "you". Except that I was the one who left. I'm sorry, not about the choice I made, but about the pain it caused.

    If you come across this because you still read where I've linked it, you will know this is me, right?

  62. This is exactly what I'm feeling.
    Losing someone I thought I knew.
    Thinking that one day they might
    wonder about me, whether I'm dead or alive.
    But I guess that day isn't coming.
    Thank you for writing this.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I love your blog. Everything written here. Every word. Every line. Kind of made me wish all of these were written for me and only me. :)

    ReplyDelete
  64. I thought love isn't suppose to be like that... I thought love was suppose to make you jump up and down all the time with a goofy smile glued to your face all day long.

    If this is "love" then this is the only kind of love I know. Something abusive, heinous, lost into the depths of emotions. I want to break free but I know it's just a lie. I feel like the only way this could ever end is if one of us dies.

    I need help.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Thank you for finding me. I needed you.

    ReplyDelete
  66. This one got me here :)

  67. Instead it was you who died that day. You died of guilt for breaking my heart and smashing my soul. When will you come back?

    ReplyDelete
  68. Last night, I accidentaly opened the ebook version I have on my cellphone and this is the entry that showed up. I almost cried because these words were exactly the ones I needed to read. Thank you for writing them. Your blog is amazing.

    ReplyDelete





  69. Sound familiar?


    I never understood how you could be so mean. Now I do. I am not dead. But watch me make a mission out of becoming dead to you for good, on purpose.




    ReplyDelete
  70. I understand why you wrote me now. I held no regard for your feelings by my chosen means of communication. My thoughts were constantly misinterpreted and some things I never wrote or thought were anonymously credited to me or you anyhow. You're great. You're kind. You don't deserve this. So I can understand your confusion, your reaction and ultimately that you wouldn't want to be my friend or want anything to do with me. I don't deserve you. I didn't treat you kindly.


    I'd like to apologize to you for my immaturity. The good news is today, I'm growing up. Literally. Since we've parted ways, it is only natural for the turmoil of anonymity to end as well. Consider this is my anonymous goodbye.


    I love you, I'm sorry, take care.

  71. Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing!

  72. Hi, I'd like to take these words and put some music to it. Would that be okay? You can email me back at kash_gk@yahoo.com

    ReplyDelete
  73. I hope you know that your words describe perfectly what is going on my life currently. Years later, and you can still touch someone's soul.
