Let me be, let us be.


When we spoke, tears welled in my eyes, and all it took was a single blink to feel them stream down my face. One day, you make me believe in myself and the next, you're the reason I skipped 3 meals that day. How do you do it? How do you find a way to both love and hate me in two totally different ways? Why do we keep going through this vicious cycle, never ending hate, lust, love, back to hate, lust… Why do we do it? why do we keep coming back to each other. It seems to start with a harmless homework question, then it continues, it expands, it swells and thickens like a pocket of contradicting emotions, And it keeps bursting, splitting at the seams every time we go through this. Kill me, kiss me, love me, hate me, goddammit, neither of us know. Leave me alone, stay here. Don’t leave, get away from me, just fucking stay, but leave, go, come... MOTHER FUCKER!! With you, and me, we will never balance. "we" will never be healthy. deal? d.e.a.l.
