“I have survived too much to go quietly.
Let a meteor take me.
Call the thunder for back up.
My death will be grand.
The land will crack,
the sun will eat itself…

-the day I leave.” – Rupi Kuar.

You tell me you’re sorry?
Explain this to me..
How exactly was this supposed to go for you?
What made you think this was something that I would need?
I was another version of me back then
who would believe in your take of redemption
You cannot possibly think that I am the same person
I just do not know how to let you back in
Your head must be full of delusions,
because the happy memories were plenty
but the bad ones were just became too many
with no new beginnings or conclusions
Such a stupid conundrum
You see, I was never dumb
and I am also not nice anymore
You’ve had all these years to think about what you did to me,
and now your heart has grown sore
In this bottomless pit of how much I don’t care anymore
You were nothing but a coward all along
Your kind words were criminal
Even now when you apologize, you somehow make it all about yourself
It was all so wrong

You are a part of the ones who made me this way.
