going home
it’s not a simple ache that i can ignore. it’s not abrubt pain that flares and goes. it is devouring and unforgiving scalding pain, swallowing me whole, threatening to burst from my skin and tear me apart. how do you live with such pain, how do you live like everything is fine, when your pain is burning you from the inside out?
how do you live… at all?
“I am tired of pain. This thing that’s necessary, inevitable and leaves too many scars. I am tired of being so sensitive to anything that triggers my wounds to bleed.”
— Juansen Dizon, Tired human
i want to stop thinking about you. i want to stop feeling you. i want to forget all the words you said to me
