they say
really you can’t be sad
cuz you do it to yourself
choose all the wrong guys
say all the wrong words
go to all the wrong places.
they say
if i put the perfect man
in front of your face
who kisses you good night
and smiles at all the right times
when you ramble
and keeps his word
you’d still choose
nights of agony
and tears for breakfast.
it’s like you were made
for darkness
and darkness
was made for you.
so i can’t be sad
because i am friends
with the devil
and i hate to be loved.
it hurts anyway
i tell them.
but i wouldn’t have it
any other way.

This is so sad, but you must have some strength to be able to write like this, something that is so personal. Always impressed by your command of the written word and to be able to so beautifully, and honestly put into words your darkest thoughts and feelings!
