There was one night during the time between sleep and wake for me when a female voice said:
“I will never be a Fairclough, I am a monster.”
I’m reflecting on that now…
I’m not anticipating a redemption arc or anything, just what I asked for when I was losing my mind.
Of course, if you were stabbed just now, like the voices say, it’s up to you to keep running away, becoming “a whore in Sweden” or whatever it is you wish.
I know I don’t control you.
Or puppeteer you.
I’m asking for this dialogue, for closure for myself.
It’s an odd thing, to love a murderer, potential or actualized, but I’m no stranger to mediating on death myself, thus, the martial arts.
And yet, but still, there are infinite and myriad things you could have done since/after our breakup so that said female voice would give you that title…
Maybe, you’ll become a character in the game franchise “Monster Hunter” and I’ll get my catharsis that way.
Edit: Voices are implying you’re screaming at the top of your lungs “you don’t know what I’m like!!!”
I know.
If we were to start any kind of relationship in any capacity we’d be starting over.
I feel like I’m the same person in some ways but I recognize that I too have changed.
Again, I’m trying to more forward, beyond you, beyond “us” from so many eons ago, but I won’t deny myself either.
I wish I wasn’t at an impasse, a stand still.
I don’t want to hurt anyone, past or present, I’m doing my best to keep the hurting to myself, but here I am, pouring my heart into pixels hoping that someone, anyone can open our/my collective eyes.
