A Piece of Me

As you sat across from me, you confirmed it.

As you sat, resolved, in all your seriousness, with the same eyes that took me in as a permanent guest, you confirmed what I had feared all this time. You told me you see me, the darkness, and how it’s affecting us and how it could affect us and our love.

I used to think love conquers all. But that was a long time ago. So much has changed. So much has passed. I am not that little girl anymore. Love doesn’t conquer all. Will conquers all. If you will to be better, to choose love before hate, to choose trust before suspicion, to choose happiness over sorrow, to believe what they all tell you or let your heart choose what you know to be true.


It all felt surreal. It reminded me of that other time, when everything felt surreal and I suddenly wasn’t me anymore and I was observing the scene from the outside, looking in, writing the storyline in my mind as I watched you break me. I didn’t want to be there but it was like this force was holding me in place and I just prayed I wouldn’t fall, because I wanted to know. I wanted to know you, know why you changed. 

Did I change you?
