Absolutely Zealous...
Why do you ask?
Absolutely everything is fine.
Before jumping to conclusions,
Cautiously consider my stake in this, Doomed.
Dumfounded, dissected, displayed. Left for...
Everyone elses interpretation.
Fundumentally, fucked.
Gutted, you left me for dead, while criticizing how I had lost myself.
Hitched breath, gasping for clarity on a situation I didn't put myself in.
Initially I blamed myself...
Judgement is always easier to impale to ones own reflection than to others faces.
Killing her, she, me softly with every exposure to the new you, the one who erased me.
Limitless, your aggression grew daily maybe even by the minute.
Mocking me in my disgraceful fall from the pedestal YOU put me on.
Narcissism evolving and spreading through you like a plague, turning you.
Opposite the man with potential to be so selfless, into someone so selfish.
Progressing into an energy vampire, greedy for comfort, becoming alone in that brilliant brain of yours.
Quality over Quantity, baby... less, sometimes, is more than more, it's all you need.
Reversing our roles unintentionally by choosing the latter...
Sans remorse for your choices in the moment, so very unaware of whats to come.
Trajectory looking grim from here babe, let me tell you.
Unsuprisingly, you fucked this up, fucked me up... yourself up.
Vivid dreams now keep me up at night.
Wondering if I could have changed your mind, changed me for you.
Xenacious for closure to know, that you know, you were in the wrong love.
Yearning to understand our break-up... our relationship, like a math problem, solvable, logical?
Zealous maybe baby, but when you ask... the answer is yes, absolutely I'm Fine...

You Never Cease To Amaze Me
You never cease to amaze me with how much pain you can bring me, nearly a year since I moved to follow your dream… and I'll admit I chased you. I wanted to be healed enough to support your dream and I really thought I was. Even if that meant absorbing mine and pushing past the discomfort of pursuing someone elses dream that didn't quite fit or even went against ones own souls beckon call. I believe now that the issue lay with you- you weren't done adding new wounds to not just me, but also yourself. You didn't have your goals alligned, nor the vulnerability to understand with reward comes sacrifice. Instead, like a true Aries, you paraded yourself around as the tough guy, fire ablaze with passions on the line, willing to take down anything and anyone that stood in your way. When in reality you were small, meak, full of disillusionment and too defeated that all you could do was throw a fit when the world and me didn't serve up your cake on a golden platter, dressed to the nines or in your preference- not clothed at all. You wanted me and everyone else in your network to bare it all, naked, raw and vulnerable. You constantly held expections for people to be authentically themselves... until their authentic was no longer appealing to you, "boring" you would often dub your latest conquest. Reducing all those around you to characters, pawns, players in your world. Supporters, lovers, fuck toys, comfort providers, usables that were in fact flushable... you washed us all down the drain the second our 'genuine' didn't conform to your amusement. The stupid ones like myself attempted to people please our way back into your appeals. We'd hold up large signs screaming like ditzy cheerleaders for you, bent the way we lived our lives to better fit yours; some sort of twisted delusion all our own to try and work with you? For you? Knowing somewhere deep inside it would never ever be enough and that chasetisment from you would be right around the corner, brandishing our attempts, telling us how foolish we were to break our genuine to try and fit yours, that that wasn't attractive, sexy, appealing. Reversing what the entire attempt we did was made to do. Instead we fell farther and farther apart.

Behind Every Strong Woman
Women are often described as being made of water, but some women are as strong as cement. They don’t act coquettishly because no one spoils them, they aren’t willful because no one pampers them, they don’t cry because no one coaxes them, and they aren’t lazy because they lack support.
