Day Three: "The only lies for which we are truly punished are those we tell ourselves."
–In a free state V.S. Naipaul
I ache when you smile
Cause I no longer bring you joy
I sigh when you laugh
Cause I am no longer the reason
The way your eyes light up
It no longer affects me
When we accidentally touch
My knees aren't jelly
Butterflies no longer reside in my abdomen
My feelings have dissipated
I care about you no longer
And if I tell myself this enough
If I try hard enough
Maybe I won't care that one day she will exist
That she...
Brings you joy
That she
Makes you laugh
That she
Is the light in your eyes
That she
Won't be me
