things i forgot at birth
they say you always learn something about yourself when you leave a relationship.
my exboyfriend taught me that i was a flawed person. i could change myself, but it would never be enough. i would always be a never ending string of flaws. you could fix one thing, but then there would always be something else. when we broke up, all my flaws that he fixed slowly returned to me one by one. i am like the leopard who couldn't change their spots.
things to remember (and never forget):-
teeth marks on skin
warm arms to shield you from the world
steady heartbeats & slow breathing
kisses goodbye
rainbows after the rain
warm breaths on damp skin
cigarettes on a cold winter day
my hand in your pocket
the exquisite pain
i'm exploding too slowly for anyone to notice.
