Lyssrambles - I Was Born A Ramblin' Girl

✖️ Word Assassin ✖️

Please don't remember me fondly

Remember me as the one who held your heart so softly, the one who loved you without restraint even when your love for me was a tangled mess which took years to unravel

Remember my patience and devotion as I sat at your feet, then how you crushed them under your heel

Remember me with pangs of guilt and regret when you think on your habit of assuring me I was safe with you then abandoning me once again

Don't remember me fondly, remember you killed me

How can you let doubt lead you the way you do?

How can a man so spectacular in so many ways feel so inadequate?

I know my attempts to enlighten you to your own greatness fall on deaf ears

I know you believe I see you through love’s eye so my view is skewed You forget that I haven’t always loved you, But I have always thought you a great man

how can i feel  so empty and yet so full  all at once

I made room for you in my life

You made room for me in your bed

I tell you I love you All you can say is “Why?”

His possession wrapped around me like a warm coat, shielding me in a way it felt like only he could from my own frozen heart
