30/6/2015—Tuesday. it took me the blood running down my arms to realise that it is not carving my skin and slitting my veins open with a razor blade that i snuck from my father is a form of self mutilating it took me the emptiness that i felt inside my stomach to realise that it is not starving myself and skipping three meals a day leaving my mother worried is a form of self harming it took me the cracking lines on the walls to realise that it is not the several punches that flew and leave my knuckles bruising in your favourite colour is a form of self injury it took me the darkness in my room to realise that it is not isolating myself and pushing people away by building walls around me is a form of self destructing it took me a few days and months and years to realise that it is how the sound of your laughter echoes through my mind when i'm alone how the colour of my coffee that i make to keep me wide awake reminds me so much of your eyes how the warmth of the sun feels so alike to how you wrapped me around your arms the aches that i feel all over my body where you leave the marks with your touch the glances every once in a while in the hall whenever we bumped to each other still gives me butterflies the teardrops that fall every night before i go to sleep to the thought of that you are now happy with her the emptiness that i feel days and nights of remembering how was it like to be loved by you the happiness that has gone away once you left leaving me bleeding, empty, bruising, and in the dark that is the biggest form of self mutilating, self harming, self injury, and self destructing. letting you in was self mutilating. falling in love with you was self harming. putting you first was self injury. giving you the control for my happiness was self destructing. yet you told me to stop hurting myself. but i just couldn't stop loving you. don't you understand? —L.D “just like how people are addicted to pain, i'm addicted to loving you.”
