Your words swallowed me whole

I raised my head and tried not to let the tears fall.


It didn't work.

I wish cutting off bad feelings could be as simple as snipping hair off. I wish I could refresh my memory. I wish I could remove my past and start with a clean slate. I wish people didn't have to remember. I wish I could forget all of my past mistakes, regrets and woes. I wish I could be apathetic when you constantly bring up my failures and remind me of my flaws. I wish I couldn't feel any emotion at all.

Of all.. You know what I wish for most? I wish you would give me a chance and believe me. Is it really too much to ask for?
