diary of the pathetic .

I crossed land and ocean but it
was never far enough to stop a
reckless soul, aching hands and a
terribly ill-trained heart from pointing north.

You always said you were not the
jealous type, and maybe you're not, but I took a
lover. I took him to numb me and to burn you.
000012
I, who crossed land and ocean to escape
You, who are not the type to be jealous of
Him, who could only guess that his hands were
surrogates
for a tighter grasp and softer touch.

And I could only wonder if maybe you are
the jealous type.

But I haven't heard from you in 113 days,
so I guess
after-all
you're not.

  2. Jealousy comes in so many forms, I've seen a lot of them. Too many really.

  4. 315. I wish there were words of comfort I could share with you, like a secret cure for this broken heart. All I can say for now is that many of us share this experience of pain, longing and absence, and these blogs and our writing reveal the possibilities which arise. For the record, you are not pathetic, at all. xo
