actually, it's not even about -- it's about finding someone 'worthy' of giving my heart to. all things considered.
that sounds so goddamn arrogant, but it's true. i have ridiculously high standards. weh.

it's when she leans agains the wall [lichen, cracks in the cement, rust. her eyewhites are yellowed and everything else seemed decayed. she's one with the city today.] and nearly collapses, standing shivering on the edge of tears.
and i try to say, how could anyone. possibly.
and her posture changes slightly and the strength neither of us knew she had straightens her enough to look right into me, and she says, i know i'm not the only one.
and i think she's right. has to be. for my own sake.

Everyone I've ever talked to about this says that I deserve better. Maybe I'm not saying it right. Maybe I'm leaving things out, inserting emphasis where it doesn't belong, blowing up the angst and whine like I always do.
[--]
"It sounds like he's had this thing for Claire the whole time."
"Oh, he's had it for years. [etc.]"
"I mean, when you were down here, he would talk on the phone with her, I could tell the, the connection th--"
"Oh, god, you should see the two of them together. He's like a mother hen."
"Aaaah, well, that sucks, but you really deserve better than that."
"[noncommital grunt]"
My mother speaks with a great deal of commas.
[--]
"That's the thing, though, is he doesn't really give a shit about me one way or the other. All he ever wanted was Claire. Still is."
[--]
He could be content with anyone, but only she can make him happy. He has no standards because none can measure up to her. He's not looking for love, just companionship, something to make the ache go away. But it won't, ever. And unless he finds someone who can tolerate being perpetually second best, it'll continue to fuck things up.
I swear I want nothing more than to bury his pretty little face in the cement.

And I was captured by her loneliness
A wounded tiger on the willowy path
Like an opalescent moon all alone
In the sky of a foreign land
Emo shit, I know. But still.

I never liked the idea of "relationships." To do all this with someone and yet mean so little to them. If I am to mean nothing to a person than I would rather there be no pretense. If I am to be meaningles then let it lay flat on the table with its face to the sky and let everyone know what it is.
But everything is shades of grey, I realize.

This hurts, this hurts, this hurts, this hurts.
I remember that point three [was it really so long ago?] years ago when I
collapsed in the garage, between the shelving. "I just . . . can't . . . take this anymore."
Same thoughts tonight. I thought, I can survive the day. I thought, things will be better tomorrow.
I can't sleep.
Haven't been able to for weeks.
I'm fucking exhausted, tired, so goddamn lonely.
I want
[Jim, always. always always always.]
I want Icey, he distracts me from myself. He'll let me cry on his shoulder.
Soomething, this is unfinished but it usually is.

& sometimes it just sneaks up and devours from the inside out. I've got that song stuck in my head, the one he used to sing at me back when it mattered, "I don't mind spending every day out on your corner in the pouring rain. Look for the girl with the broken smile, ask her if she wants to stay awhile. And she will be loved, and she will be loved . . ."
But with experience comes knowing that he meant it more for her. Always for her. Everything for her.
Can I blame him? No. I feel the same thing for him. I know how it dominates. There's a portion of your heart you can only give away to one person in each lifetime. For me, that's him. For him, it's her. I pray that I'm right in assuming Claire and Dan's are each other . . .
Trilogy, and least of it. I can never bring myself to believe otherwise.
He existed mostly as a figment of my imagination. And I think I as his. I'm so sick of long-distance relationships. So sick of being lonely, of waiting on a chance and a might-be. Of spending less than a month, total, with the love of my life.
C'est la vie. As much as I hate it, I know I just have to move on.

. . . iwillgetoverthis. iwillgetoverthis. . .
shittiest goddamn mardi gras ever.
i'm fucking sick of love. of having it. [then again, i always have been.]
i will spend every minute of every day waiting for you to contact me. until someday i realize you're not. going. to.
on that day i'll begin to heal.
. . . rest later.

. . . Surreal and stupid. Clouds on the sky, seagulls and ice. Wind. The same goddamn rocks, the same goddamn urges. To break [people].
It apparently isn't a problem. He has been up to no good as well. I am relieved. Or, I should be. But yet somehow . . . don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous in the least. Nor bothered by either of us fucking other people.
No, the part that gets me . . . [& put aside your need for metaphors, for imagery, for making so much more intense than it really is.] is that even in the middle of it, all I can think of is Jim.
Dead center of probably the best fuck I'll ever get and I suddenly want to cry from loneliness. What? Someone explain this to me, please. Someone make it all make sense, make it all better, make it all go away. Someone please, for the love of god, plug up this hole in my heart. It hurts.
I finally believe in him, far too late to do anything about it. Maybe, if I'm lucky and clever, I can see him in May. Maybe not.
