Altered Me

I want to forget.

To forget the way he broke me.

He was once the one I personified love to be. His perfection and innocence was oozing out of him, so beautiful that it hurt just looking at him. In short, he was everything I ever wanted, everything I dreamed about...

Dream became reality, and reality became pain. How can anything so beautiful change into something like this? He was now the ruler of my world, and I was dumb enough to let him.

Now I do not know who I am anymore. All I saw was the image of a girl that he wanted me to be, and it felt so wrong.

Caged, stifled, choked. Everyday. All the time.

It would hurt to let go of all that love, and of all that beauty, but it would be equally painful if I stayed. This, just this, was what I have to decide on.

Somehow in the midst of all this I just wanted to disappear. To pretend that I never chanced upon this treasure, so it wouldn't hurt as much.

I want to forget.

To forget the way he broke me.
