“Hector loved Andromache so much, her fate was why he fought as hard as he did. The fall of Troy only terrified him because her destiny and his son’s were attached to it. His greatest fear was the ruins of the woman he loved and his child because there would be no one left to protect them. Achilles loved Patroclus so much, he would have burned the entire world to the ground just to avenge his death. His grief was so mighty he would have ended the war single handedly had the Gods not intervened to stop him. Two loves that powerful clashed in the worst sort of way and only one of them could survive while the other died - and this is the devastating tragedy. The only lesson is look, look at what love can do. It can make you a hero or make a monster out of you.”
— Nikita Gill, Hector and Achilles (via meanwhilepoetry)

I don’t hate you because you cheated.
I don’t even hate you, I just hate what your heartless choices did to me.
I’m ruining my relationship with a man I adore because of how you broke me.
I’m so desperately in love with him and yet I choke on all of the words I wish I was saying.
I can’t get them past the lump in my throat built by your betrayals.
—if I could take every second of us back I would—
.L.m.P.

I’m letting you go.
I’m forgiving myself for all of the times I let you break my heart
and I’m forgiving you for not loving me like I loved you.
—he’s shown me what real love feels like—

but fuck, I feel them in my bones.

I was starting to make a place for you in my life
but now you’re pulling away
and fuck I can feel the loneliness creeping back in over the walls around my heart.
—I feel like I’m drowning and nobody sees me gasping for air—

While you were sleeping
I was lying awake all night, staring at the ceiling, consumed by thoughts of you.
Your face,
your voice,
and how you just make me feel so much better all the time.
—I fucking adore you and it terrifies me—
.L.m.P.

You were sitting across from me, rambling on about something silly and I realized that I wasn’t really listening.
Not because I was bored or distracted but because I was taking you in.
I could feel myself making a place for you in my life and fuck now I’m terrified.
I boxed up my feelings and threw away the key months ago but it seems you’re the spare I never knew existed.
—please don’t make me regret letting you in—
.L.m.P.

I haven’t written much lately.
I think it’s because writing involves feelings
and my entire body has been numb since I saw her name in your phone.
—I hate you for making me so fucking cold—
.L.m.P.

You know that thing people say
“we accept the love we think we deserve”
I’d say we accept what we think is love.
That boy that cheats on you every other weekend?
That’s not love. No matter what he says or does. That is not love.
I know it hurts to accept.
How can the boy you love with your whole heart not feel the same way?
But honey, if he can hurt you like that over and over again, he doesn’t love you.
That’s not what love is.
And you fucking deserve better.
—I wish I’d listened when someone told me this—

When you see me happy with someone new I want you to remember how you pushed me away.
Remember how many times you broke me.
Remember all of those nights I begged you to just please love me.
I want you to fucking remember all of the times you decided I wasn’t enough.
—I hope your heart shatters under the weight of your regret—
.L.m.P.

Sometimes I’m scared that I’ll never have feelings for someone else.
I’m scared I’ll never love someone as much as I loved you.
God, I’m terrified that I’ll be this fucking cold forever.
—I’m tired of feeling so empty—
.L.m.P.

I don’t understand why I feel so guilty.
It’s been three months and I still can’t think about being with someone else without feeling sick to my stomach.
How could you be with so many others while we were together and never feel the slightest hint of guilt?
I should hate you.
Instead I just miss you.
—how the fuck do I move on?—
.L.m.P.

Have you ever missed someone so much that it makes you physically sick?
I can’t breathe without you but fuck I can’t forget all of the horrible things you did to me.
—I’d give anything to not miss you—

It’s true what they say, love isn’t always easy. You have to fight for it.
I fought for us for so long.
I kept choosing you, even when you didn’t choose me.
But I’ve realized that being in love shouldn’t hurt this much.
Loving you has become more painful than letting you go.
—I still love you, but I hate how much you’ve hurt me—
.L.m.P.

All I asked for was your love.
So explain again why I should forgive you for loving her instead?
—you used up your last chance choosing her—

I’ve been holding back tears
and you’ve been holding her.
—does she love you better than I did?—

You miss what we had and want me back.
Somehow, after everything you did, I’m supposed to just forgive you?
How am I heartless for trying to heal myself?
You don’t get to tell me that your heart is broken when you broke me first.
—how do you think I felt when you chose her?—
.L.m.P.
