A painfully realistic story of a love that fell apart.


I walk up the street, the middle of June

And into the door, I'm greeted by you

I smile as I see you, and you pull me in tight

And ask if I'd do you the honor of staying the night.


Nights turned into weeks, and soon weeks into more

Of everyday me walking into your door

And after so long, we looked at the stars

And declared that your house was finally ours.


So month after month, we spent them together

The relationship only getting better and better

Until one night you came home, and I know you weren't sober

I remember so vivid, it was the start of October.


You sat me down on the corner of your bed

And you watched as my face turned from light pale to red.

Because I knew what was coming, so I stared at the floor

"I'm sorry, I just don't love you anymore."


And that very night, I slept on the ground

Stared at the wall, in my own tears I drowned

Got up at 3 a.m. and packed up my stuff,

And left you a note: "I thought I was enough."


The seasons have changed, and now it's December

As I walk up the street and can't help but remember

The feeling you gave me, god, its far too soon

I can't return to this place until the middle of June.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
