Skin
I shouldn't be driving. My eyelids felt like glue every time I blink. I see my kids trick-or-treating and wonder where my husband is. He said he’d take them trick-or-treating. I pull over, their costumes look different than what we bought. Mikey wanted to be a clown with his face ripped off. His makeup looks almost too real. I got out, “Mikey, your makeup looks amazing!” I touch it and see blood on my finger. I look closer and notice his face looks deeper like someone skinned. I realize, it’s not face paint or special effects, his face is gone.
Finishing Thoughts
Maybe it's just my anger and denial that made me feel this way. I don’t know what I did wrong. “Not every relationship is based on how good of a significant other you are, sometimes things just aren’t meant to work out.” I hate when people say that why couldn’t we make it work out. Who got to decide if it doesn’t work out or not? Why is it up to them and not the people in the relationship?
Maybe it's my annoyance with you that made me rude. You were never clingy until I called it off. Now all you talk about is fixing it. I’m tired of saying I don’t want to fix it. “I want you to be happy.” “You make me happy.” This put an unwanted responsibility on me. Why can’t you have something else that makes them happy? I can't be the source of your happiness.
Relationships are not one way streets. There are always two lanes. The two lanes have to work together. Why couldn’t you do that? What’s so hard about talking with me about how you feel? I don't ask for much just this one thing.
Happiness in your life is important. I understand that I make you happy but you don't make me happy you make me stressed and upset. I need to be in charge of my own happiness and not sacrifice it for yours.
Things and people like you are the worst. Your selfishness is unbelievable.
Your thought process is messed up. Why can't you let me be happy?
Unbelievable. I just miss you.
I don’t miss you. I miss who I thought you were.
I never changed.
I doesn’t matter I just saw the real you and not the you I imagined.
