The Lost Letters.
Chels:
It's me. I know we haven't talked in a while, and I'm sorry things haven't been that great for the past months. I didn't think things would get so bad.
We've been friends forever. Remember that day we met in fourth grade? Sid threw play dough at me and I tried to throw some back at him, but I missed and hit you instead. And you threw a glob back at me?
Come on, let's try and work things out, huh?

Olivia,
I don't know what changed yesterday to make you send this and I don't want to know. Yes I do remember, and I wish more than anything that I didn't.

jane's heart is a mosaic. after being broken and broken
again most of those pieces are missing. now jane's
grabbing any piece that fits. but she's never found the
glue to hold her heart together.
jane thought every boy with soft hands and blue eyes
who came along might fill those cracks. and even though
the pieces didn't fit, she clung to every word. but soon
she's choking on the glass pieces of her heart again.
jane told herself that she deserved the bad things that
happened to her. but the next second they didnt seem
bad, in fact they were a sign of the love she didn't
deserve. you could look into her eyes and see nobody.

you always were there from the start. but my wounds never could heal properly
when you were bearing my struggle. now they will never heal on their own. these
crutches are exactly and only that, crutches.
i may be falling to pieces at your feet, i may be shattering the image you always
had of me, but this isnt about you, now is it? and even though this may hurt you
and confuse you, it never was about you.
i cant even remember who wanted this to be a no-strings relationship, because
that didnt take too long to break. so now every limb and every thought is tied to
you, and even though i did dig myself my own grave, i made it big enough f

your noose is still hanging from the heart-shaped tree in my backyard. they never took it down. all they stole from me was your body. your soul.

i can still remember the look in your eyes that night. the sadness you've been holding back for so long was welling over. tears were covering the surfaces, threatening to spill over under my fingernails.
and then you left my arms, and walked straight out of my door.

cristian brought her the stars and smashed them

i thought i just wasnt satisfied with my life.
turns out i fucking hate my life with a passion.
so whats your opinion on lies and the bitches who tell them?
how does anyone even know who they are anymore?
i think i lost myself some time ago.
come to think of it,
im not sure i had found myself to begin with.
sometimes i think i was just blind and naive,
or maybe i was not-so-subconsciously blocking it out.
but now that ive come to this point,
i would give everything to be blind once again.
