It’s a pity,
you see.
That,
in the end,
after all was angrily said
and grudgingly done
that all that was left
wasn’t even us;
just me
and whatever half-truth
m e m o r i e s
you left me with.
Yet,
somehow,
you will fail to mention
your own shortcomings
when my name once again
graces your lips.
A pity.

I was attempting to convey how, even though it takes two people to fight for a relationship, when one eventually fails, we often forget to hold ourselves responsible for whatever happened.

LT, I’m pretty sure we were in love with the same girl ahaha. Literally writing out my thoughts and pain in your words. Great portraying of the struggles of love and how it lingers with half-true memories seen through rose-tinted glasses.

Our hearts our fantastic things but we often tend to fall in love with the potential someone has, rather than who they are in the present. I know I have fallen victim to such an outcome.
