I’ve been feeling sad lately and find that writing about my problems helps a lot! Sadly though, I want to share them but had no one to share them with. So anyways, I invite y’all to share the things you write when you’re sad. I’ll go first:

The thought of you haunts me like a malevolent spirit. You’re something that I can imagine and picture, but never reach. When I close my eyes, you’re there. But as soon as I open them, all I can see is you moving away from me. I try to escape the thought of you, running as fast as I can, even though I know that I could never run fast enough. You’ve already invaded my heart and mind, so there’s no point in even trying. I am like Tantalus, with you as my fruit. I want you, and am so close to you. But as soon as my hand reaches out, you’re moved just out of my grasp. There’s no way for me to be with you, and deep down, my heart knows that. Perhaps that’s why you plague my dreams and intrude upon my thoughts. Why would my heart choose someone it knew I would never have? More importantly, why can’t I forget you? No matter how much I attempt, you’re still there. When I close my eyes at night and picture you there, I’m filled with love and happiness, knowing that when I wake up, it’ll turn into bitterness and an aching pain.

Here, was where I wanted to stand.

Here, was where I belonged.

But it was never my choice.

This place is no longer mine to stay.

These people are no longer mine to keep.

Faded memories are all I'll have left.

Time did not stop for us.
