The Priest-less Confessional
A place to air your grievances with yourself. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, prose. Pride or attrition. Anything goes.
i think of you every time my phone buzzes
i quickly, shamefully hope for an apology
some kind of reason i'm worth your time
proof you still think about me all the time
i decided it isn't fair to hold any of this over you
i'm hurt, maybe i did something wrong
i feel tragic and worthless and melodramatic
all the things i promised myself i would never feel
when i promised myself i would never be in love
i've fogged up my window with all this blame
and through the haze i can't see it in myself to hate you
i'll go on hating myself and find comfort in familiarity
