76.
There was a fire burning inside of me that I no longer had control over.
~E, shallow me whole.
77.
I did not need you to glue my heart back together.
To patch it up from the ones before who have torn it apart.
I didn't need you. I was fine on my own.
But I wanted you so bad.
78.
Don't look into my eyes and start to cry.
When I used to look into your's I saw home.
Now all I can see is nothing.
~E, and now you're now realizing it.
79.
I hated the way you made me feel.
It was warm and comforting.
Something I wasn't used to.
It was uncomfortable since all I had known was war.
80.
Your heart beating in your chest.
The cold finger tips in the winter.
The numb hands and feet after sleeping in class.
The rise of your chest.
The sound in your ears.
This is evidence of you being alive.
~E, live for it.
