maybe i am intense,
crazy,
insane,
and worthless.

you'd think after
hearing it for
so long,
the tolerance to the pain,
would gradually get higher.

but it doesn't.

every word,
is still a cut deeper,
a harder tug,
in an attempt to
tear me down.

maybe i am icky,
disgusting,
and not enough.

you'd think a girl
who wants nothing more
than to be someone who's
passionate,
would have a better life than this.

but she doesn't.

she is still fighting,
breaking,
pushing for the hope
she had lost a long time ago.

she really isn't anything anymore.
a void.
a ghost,
who's body
is so intense,
to those who
cannot have her,
that she dims
because she cannot mend.

i am an empty box now.
living in the fullness
of the comfort
of being absent
and absolutely nothing.

you win.
i have finally became nothing.

at least i can't be touched,
if i am nothing.
