The Calamity of Touch

Where I End…And You Begin

Getting Over It October 28, 2009

Filed under: forgetting, love — Cristina Angela Carballo @ 4:19 pm

How do I get over something?

I simply forget. I don’t mind it.  I laugh it off.

That’s the way to go.

For instance, I see your name highlighted in YM and it makes me cringe that you’re not clicking mine, but I simply brush it aside.

I never expect to talk to you ever again, much less to see you again and I shouldn’t: you’re gone anyway.

I guess the difference between now and then is that I will not let this loneliness win this time.

I’m putting my foot down.

My life will be a success story because I want it to be.

The unnameable is staring me in the face again.

I guess the only thing that I have to do is face it too, and not let it get the best of me, this time around.

Sure, it will paint my day a shade of blue, but a lighter shade now, somehow more manageable.

I will not let it win.

Silent now.

Afraid now.

Don’t know what to do again.

The world it spins out of control,

When you- you take your toll.

This is a place where we meet,

A traffic jam in a one-way street.

And I need more time,

I need more time.

I’m back on Seroquel 200mg.

Didn’t feel dizzy this morning, just pleasantly groggy, which was okay.

I feel level-headed, a bit spaced-out, of course, because that’s what antipsychotics do: they silence your thoughts and quiet down your feelings.

I could deal this way. It’s not bad at all.

And if I have to take these damn drugs for a lifetime, then I am prepared to face that; that and the stigma of it all.

Maybe I will become a better psychiatrist because of my current struggles- the Wounded Healer, as Dr. Bolet Bautista said.

I am craving Sonja’s Cupcakes.

Yum.

I guess it’s really time to say this.

I just want you out of my life and out of my world forever.

It’s nothing personal.

You’re just a reminder of what I can never have.

You were held up before me by a God that permitted us to meet but did not allow us to stay together.

Again, it’s nothing personal, but you became an asshole too.

In fact, I have so much anger pent up inside of me and it’s “all for you.”

Ugh.

I cannot believe I said I loved you. That was the biggest mistake in the world. And I’d hate for you to think
that the reason I ended up in rehab is because of you. It’s not. It was my own stupidity, my own mistakes,and, dare I
say, my own cuts.

I hear you painting the town.

Funny, I had to beg that from you when we were together.

*sigh*

I just really am regretful that I ever gave you a chance in the first place. You’re the biggest mistake ever.

Again, it’s nothing personal, just me realizing how many assholes like you populate this world.

On a side note, bagay kayong dalawa. Walang direksyon sa buhay kundi maging rat racer, nagpapanggap na masaya, walang ginawa kundi maglasing at gumawa ng katarantaduhan.

 

Something I Can Never Have May 18, 2009

You.

You in your anger; you in your lonely confusion; you in your sadness.

I’ve given up, as simple as that, in trying to fathom your abyssmal mind.

Shrewd conquests, lonely bottles and masquerades: they make up our past but never our future.

I insist on being fixated by you and I don’t know why.

Oh God, please tell me why.

Now I know.

Now I know where I stand: nowhere.

I can’t even begin to write about the heartache because I’m still experiencing it.

It just. fucking. hurts.

I’ve regressed in a very bad way.

All my 7 months of hard work to avoid doing what I shouldn’t do has been blown away.

I’m back where I started.

I’m back to hurting myself.

The Remeron is making me feel like a zombie. I can’t hold up a decent conversation anymore.

And I’ll always drowsy.

The 2mg clonazepam isn’t doing its job either. I don’t feel sleepy at all when I take it. I’m using it as an escape from the loneliness that surrounds me now.

You’re gone.

I’m all alone again..

I think I’ve been replaced already.

This feeling hurts and I want to go to national bookstore to buy a cutter. Which I will do when I log off.
