mental illness doesnt go away just because you fall in love

if someone is ill and you want to be in a relationship with them dont expect to cure them

their disease is not going to disappear so that you can have your happy ending

“Have you ever been in love”

Yes, of course.

Too many times.

But always as different people.

Different chapters of myself.

Adopting and Adapting parts of me to fit.

Leaving scraps of me on the floor to sweep up.

Don’t let anyone see the mess.

  But now all I have are the scraps

And I realize the scraps are who I am.

The things I have cut away are all that remain

That is who I am.

  The question should be

“Has anyone ever really loved you?”

  I don’t know,

I don’t know.

Imagine an empty room. Now imagine me in it. Does it look emptier now? Fun fact: loss tastes different every single time we experience it. So what is it this time? Black coffee? For me, it’s theater popcorn. Tell me I’m the one who took it all out of you, gutted you like a fish and left only bones. Tell me I made you small. Make me the bad guy so I can start being the bad guy. I won’t deny anything. Imagine a pantry. Now imagine me singing on my tippy-toes trying to grab the last can of chicken-noodle soup in it. Does it sound like home or some place far away? I was so close to giving you everything. I was so close to making myself good for you, but I couldn’t stomach it. Was I the hole in your pocket where your change fell through? Was I the reason you couldn’t buy your cigarettes? Was I your bad dream? Good. I wanted to be.

Hey but how come when you make ME feel bad I am the one who has to work to comfort and assure you?

I think this is backwards.
