“My heart beats in almosts.

It is constantly in pursuit

of those whom it desires,

but the moment it comes too close,

it recoils, stops dead in its tracks,

and then bolts in the other direction.

I hold onto what makes me miserable

and I let the good things go.

I’m self destructive.” I said,

“It’s the way I’ve always been.”



“And why do you think that is?”



“Because it’s easier

to destroy something you love,” I replied,

“Than it is to watch it leave.”
