bye, angel

I hope someday I’ll see you again.

I don’t know where I’m going but I know it’s better than here.

Darling, it hurts so much more than they say. The sheer pressure of society, cornering you into a dark, dark place.

My heart aches from loneliness, even when you were there. You tried to comprehend. I think you really thought you did.

Then it ate me and I was too far gone for you to reach me. I’m so close to nothing now, but I hope you know it was never you. Never.

Please forget me. Take life by the throat and wring out every drop. Don’t let it bury you like it did me. Seize each moment, each precious second and cherish them like it’s the last.

You’ll be fine, angel. Keep your head up and eyes soft.

As for me, this is the last cherished moment. I’ll go in the euphoria of thinking of you.
