LJ Idol Week Eight - If You Leave

[ohelectricshock]

I have become a poison. Every word spilling out of my mouth is virulent, every touch flowing from my fingertips laced with toxin. He tells me how disrespectful I've been, how everything I do is permeated by a layer of distrust. Whenever we chance upon eye-contact he looks away. It feels like he hasn't smiled at me in months

Wow! Good piece of writing. Is it based on real events, or is it fictional?

[ohelectricshock]

Thanks so much! It is based on real events that happened almost exactly a year ago.

I hope you're feeling stronger these days.

[ohelectricshock]

Very much so :)

This is lovely. I'm glad you got out of that relationship.

[ohelectricshock]

Thanks so much, and yes, me too.

You're welcome.

The definition of "amory" is different for different people, and I can identify with Alex feeling betrayed here. You guys definitely let the toothpaste out of the tube with this one, and it had to change, no matter how hard it hurt.

I still think Alex, overall, was an ass, though.

And I am really happy with the hopeful ending.

Absolutely, I think his feelings of betrayal were completely valid, even if his actions had a part in getting us to that point.
