Dear New Girlfriend

Dear New Girlfriend,

I hope you don't mind me writing too you. But I thought I would just reach out to see how you were doing. You see, I was like you. I saw the charm, it was refreshing. He held himself up to some standards and I respected that. He was able to hold a conversation, that is, until you realize the conversations he can hold are the only ones. He has those mystical eyes. They really are breathtaking but you shouldn't stare into them. They will trap you in his webs.

Trust me when I say, I know why you think you like him. He has those sweet words. You want to believe that he is only saying those words too you, but that's not true.

He will pretend to be the victim and act so defenseless to make it seem like you are the crazy one. He will pretend like your feelings matter when his actions will always prove your feelings don't matter.

He likes to act like he isn't broken, like he isn't damaged or selfish. He likes women more damaged than him so they can't see how flawed he really is. He thrives on broken women. And believe me when I say: You aren't one of those broken women.

I wasn't broken when I met him but I was broken when I left. 

You shouldn't have to leave broken either. So, that's why I'm checking up on you. To give you the out you might need.

I broke enough for any new girlfriend. I suffered and felt that pain for you. This is my warning for you. If you have these doubts, if you have any feeling that something isn't right...Run.


And I will be here making sure you know how wonderful you are with out him.

And if you do love him, so much so that you stay, Just know I deeply hope you find happiness. I hope he never treats you the way he treated me. I hope you never experience the heartache he put me through.

I hope you are happy.

Love,
Yasmena

Addicted

 I've never been addicted to drugs or alcohol before. But I'm addicted to people. I crave certain attention because of the lack of love I got as a child. At least that's what the internet and my therapist say.  I get angry at this boy. This simple, basic boy. This beautifully average, simple boy. I get angry with him.  "Why are you angry at him?"  Because he makes me smile. He makes me laugh.  I don't want to laugh. I don't want to smile.   It tricks my mind into thinking I'm okay. So I tell him, "You make me angry." Naturally, he asks me, "why?"  "Because I'm happy when I'm with you."  You see, the problem is, I'm not ready to be happy.  I'm not ready to be treated with respect. I'm not ready to be showered with positive attention. I was used to being sad. It felt normal to be treated like an afterthought.  So when someone comes around and doesn't make me sad, who doesn't make me feel like an a...

Thank you for destroying me.

"Again, you aren't sorry. You knew exactly what you were doing. you knew exactly what you were saying to me and you took advantage of my trust and you made me look like a fucking fool. I don't give any fucks what you do with your life now. You wont change. Everyone says they will change but liars will be liars.  You will probably lie to your therapist. I literally was trying to genuinely support you the best way I knew how. And I'm not fucking crazy for the ways I'm trying to help you. You like being a fucking sad boy for some stupid reason because it gives you some strange sense of attention that you don't get elsewhere. If you wanted to work things out you would have tried harder. If you actually cared about me like you fucking said you did, you wouldn't have done the exact shit I've cried to you about and you wouldn't have been a manipulative piece of shit. You are trying to play sad boy right now pretending like you had feelings for me but OH NO...

Piano Bar

     It was another slow night at the Piano bar. With the rising cases in the Covid-19 Pandemic no one was going out to a small businesses like this one. The owner of the bar, Phil, was trying so hard to stay open and in business because it's all he knew. He felt bad cutting my hours and knew how I was struggling but I still had my consistent Saturdays and I was thankful he didn't fire me. I had to wear my mask while I played the Piano. I felt a little silly because the few people that did come into the bar didn't even come up to request for songs anymore. I just would make a playlist and stick to that all night.      Like a robot, I mindlessly played songs. My fingers had their own soul and moved willingly. My mind shut off. I just slowly would breath hot air into my mask and my eyes would wander the room but I wasn't looking at anything specific. I was on auto pilot while I my hands danced on the keys, like a dancer on stage.  "Excuse me."  A sm...
