The crushing moment of defeat when you do everything you can for everyone and it’s never good enough
The crushing moment where you’ve put all of your energy and soul into someone and you realise this whole time they preferred someone else
The crushing moment when you need someone, and nobody’s there.
oh no , oh no. this wasn’t supposed to be a problem. i was supposed to stop feeling this about three months ago when it started. i was supposed to wake up and realize it was just a crush and i wasn’t falling. i was supposed to cut it out or slow it down or ignore it into silence.
oh no. oh no. pardon my appearance i’m trying to remodel. we’re in the back scrambling around trying to dump feelings out of windows. we’re in crisis. the water level’s rising.
you laugh and get close. and we got a problem.
Come. Make me dream that I am healing.
Albert Geiger, tr. by Jethro Bithell, from Selections; “The Dying Maiden,”
