I’ve been there. In the corner with me, myself, and I.
Surrounded by the pieces of my broken better yet shredded heart, the smell of
pungent alcohol traced vomit in my hair, and your name slowly leaving my mouth
in the most disheartening way. The aftermath of the happiness is…the only clear
and logical way I can depict my life at this time. About 6 months of alcoholic
nights and sloppy love making and I’m still here better yet “there” in the
aftermath of happiness. When that buzz wears off and you keep drowning yourself
in hard liquor trying to get that feeling back, When you feel intimacy with
someone and you urn for their touch one more time, but you then realize that it
was just a one night thing, not an eternity. You’re basically chasing a feeling
that you will never reach…but you reach that feeling in the pit of your stomach
that makes you want more, that disgusting thought that you could actually be
genuinely happy…that feeling that nothing in this life will ever make sense or
even just go your way. That is how I feel day to day. I am dissatisfied with life all the time yet,
I feel so much joy in my times of lonesomeness. I still laugh more than I
breathe, and I don’t know if it’s a coping method but today…Today my earth is
shaken. Today I feel like I stand alone, I miss your touch. I had more of you
than I wanted a couple months ago, and in these past 3 weeks I haven’t missed
anyone’s touch more than yours. Plot twist, you’re not the only one on my mind.
I’m stuck on someone else, and I don’t really know how to let him go. He left
his mark on my heart and after months of no communication and you and I’s
bickering ways he has walked back in and it’s not all on him because I acted
and let him in. He is in, my soul and I don’t think I’ll ever let him go. This
doesn’t mean I don’t like you, but he has been there since all of this started
he was the beginning of the aftermath of happiness. He was the happiness and he
left me in the aftermath of a 10.0 earthquake that shook me up, and left me
mangled between the pieces of my own heart. Left me logged in his every move, I
didn’t feel complete without his bleak smile. I didn’t feel complete until he
looked at me with those dreary eyes, blankly looking into mine that were
flooded with undesirable tears that couldn’t quite yet fall, until he turned
away and went along with his day. I can’t leave him alone.
