Hey guyzos! This entry will be x-posted with fictionpress.

So, I had a muse strike me a bit ago, and I started writing. It's not particularly fantastic, but I saw a lot of my friends in the speaker--also, she's CERTAINLY not me, which is strange. when I write for the sake of it, it usually turns out to be a character with many similarities for me.

Thank god for good music.

Title: Running in circles
Genre: Romance/angst
Summary: Unfinished love is never truly severed



Rip my heart out, why don’t you?

I don’t understand-why would you think for one second that this was okay? That you could just waltz back to me, and expect to have a second chance? You want your happy ending?

Fuck that.

How does that song go? Shoulda changed that stupid lock, or made you leave your key? I’ll never doubt those lyrics again. You walked out of here leaving me crumpled on the floor-does it matter that you regret it now? I’m seeing someone. You have to go. No-get out.

Oh, you broke up with her? Realized what you’re missing without me? I bet you left her dying on the ground too. So who else is there? Yeah, you told me it was just us last time, too. I’m not gonna be part of your stupid triangle.

I just got over you! Stop that, get off me! You have no right to grab my hands, not anymore. I’m seeing someone! She’s great-really great. She doesn’t have any secret girlfriends.

No-no, why ask me that? I don’t know if I’m going to spend the rest of my life with her! I wanted to spend the rest of my life with-

Shut up. Go grovel at the feet of your other girl-toy. Oh, oh shut up. Stop giving me these messed up excuses. I don’t care if she-what?! No one forced you to do anything. Don’t give me these twisted compliments. They’re useless.

Yeah, I get it now. You somehow thought it would be okay to get involved with me when you already had a girlfriend? I don’t care how pretty you thought I was-how gorgeous, how luminescent…

I-I, what? I never asked? So it’s my fault? You-you have no idea! Y-you are so clueless! I never asked? Of course I never asked! Why would I spoil something so-so perfect? I though, I thought you’d care enough to tell me! I thought you’d decide to be with me!

N-n-no, get away, I can’t do this! Don’t you dare put your arms around me-stop reminding me of us. Y-you’re such a jerk. I’m involved. I can’t do this. I can’t kiss you, I…I’ll fall apart.

Her name? She-she’s…God, fine. Fine. She doesn’t exist. But she’d, she’d be better then me to you. You just made me feel like I was beautiful, but you, you, you lied. You lied to me. I don’t want-

No, no, stop. I didn’t mean that. Here, I have tissues. Stop crying. I didn’t mean to make you cry. I-I know it’s hard. B-but, you could have trusted me. You could have told me, I wouldn’t have-I would have tried to help. I-I meant to spend the rest of my life with you. Was…was it just a game?

No, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, have some more tissues. Sorry. Here, sit down. Remember the first time you came here? You liked my eyes, remember? No one told me that before-

Yeah, yeah, and when we met at the bookstore? We were looking for the same book, what was it again? Yeah, “Fahrenheit 451”. I just wanted to seem smart; you said it was one of your favorites. I wanted to know what you were talking about, you know? I wanted to impress you-

That…that’s why it hurt so bad so see you sitting on that sofa next to her, the same book in your hand. You said you were at work. I…I didn’t know you were just saying goodbye. But, but, you kissed her, and squeezed her hand. I, I’m not gonna take back what I said to you-I, I trusted you. I didn’t want to find out that way. I-oh, god.

C-could you pass the tissues?

I, oh, love, I don’t know. I-it might take a long time for me to trust you again. Do, are you…you’re not seeing anyone else, are you? I, you can’t blame me for being scared. Oh, I’ve missed this. Your arms are so strong, even when you spin me tales, your arms were always so solid.

I, I’ll call you, okay?

Goodbye.

I love you.
