Used Love

 It was never the fact that you loved someone else before me. 

It was that you brought that love from her into our relationship. 

You couldn't find a new love in me, you brought her love and used that on me. 

I got hand me downs. I got used goods. 

You couldn't afford to put something new into what we were building together. 

And foolishly, I accepted it. 

It was the love that you could give me and I accepted it even knowing I deserved more than feelings for another woman.

You had a limited love capacity and it was maxed out with her. 

You cant love anyone the way you loved her.

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...

3AM Wednesday Mornings

     He picked me up at 2am. I was fighting an anxiety attack right before he picked me up. I pushed it down as best as I could. I wasn't going to let my anxiety ruin a possible good night. The drive to the beach was quiet, with small talk occasionally filling the air. We eventually reached our destination.       It was 50 degrees but with the beach breeze it was probably closer to 40. The sky was clear and the breeze nipped at my cheeks. We gazed at the stars and talked about if aliens actually did exist. We swapped stories about all sorts of things in our lives. And we were so very cold but we didn't really mind since we were just enjoying each other company.  We both laid on our sides looking at each other for a few moments until I complained about how cold the ground was. I sat up and he laid on his back and pulled me down so I was laying on him. He was warm. He said I could put my hands in his hoodie pocket but I ended up putting them under h...
