Want to swing from the chandelier

Now I'm listening to Damien Rice and crying. Water without sound. Like last night's storm. Lightning without the thunder. Lightning piercing my heart. 

Maybe it can revive itself. 


I feel alone. Intellectually I know it's my own doing but it's not any more palatable. I still feel like a kid who hasn't grown up even though my face looks old in the mirror. 

I miss him. I don't think he ever understood. I think it was all bullshit. How can I miss what never was. I want to scream. I want someone to slap me. Hard. I want to forget.

In the day I try. In the night I can't protect myself. My nightmares are paralyzing. I don't even want to sleep but I need to. I just took six milligrams of melatonin for the simple reason that I cannot sleep.  I've never been a girl like this. The more he turns me away the more I want his attention. It makes me physically ill. 

My head is on fire. My heart is ashes.
