I will never understand what it is that makes people do the things they do. Why, if one person feels life is so bleak and dismal and happiness a gazillion miles beyond their reach, would they subject their “supposed” significant other that same feeling of bleakness and unhappiness upon them. Why? Why is it even necessary? So that they can give “them” a taste of their own unhappiness so that they know what it is they’re feeling too?
Or, if unhappy “A” feels that their source of all their unhappiness is “B”, is it within their right to make sure that “B” is unhappy too? Is this the way of things when it comes to relationships? Is this how it’s supposed to work? Are you guilty of exactly what I’ve just stated? Do we all do these things? I hope not. I myself try not to when I myself had to go through that. If I feel sad and stupidly idiotic or angry because life is overwhelming and just bogs me down to the point nothing in life is worth being happy about, what do I do?
I read. I write. I take long drives alone in my car with no destination in mind. To cool off? To think? To be alone? Sure why not. Why subject whomever what I feel. Why add to their own troubles. Because that’s what we’re supposed to do? To turn to whomever whenever life is shit? Because some stupid help book, or therapist, or who the fukc cares says that we should turn to our loved one, friends , family or the source of our irritation? Why? I see nothing good can come of that. Because they care?
I suppose in some way they do, but what if the one causing all these emotions is “B”? Then what? Use blackmail so that “B” knows what “A” is feeling and feel some small feeling of satisfaction that you’ve caused “B” so much grief because you feel that “B” caused yours? I HAVE HAD IT!!!!! I’ve reached my boiling point and I’ve had it! I’ve had it up to here and I see no end. Oh sure, I could say, “FUKC YOU!!” and leave it at that. But what will that get me? More fights? More grief?
“See! See! You are an a$$hole!” says “A”.
“Well, if you weren’t so goddamn sad all the time maybe I’d show some understanding!” says “B”.
“Well if you showed you care,” says “A”.
“How am I supposed to care when you’re so goddamn sad and so goddamn fukced up all the time?” says “B”.
“You never fukcing talk to me. All I want is that you show some care when I’m sad,” says “A”.
“You’re fukcing unapproachable!!” yells “B”.
“You say you love me, but you don’t show it,” says “A”.
“Because in your mind, I’m the fukcing source of all your goddamn problem. How am I supposed to approach you when you look at me like the black plague?” says “B”.
“It’s always about you, isn’t?” says “A”, “did you ever think it’s about me? Do you?”
“Well, what the fukc's the problem then? Because if I’m not…then why are you so goddamn sad?”
And so it goes: round and round and round and the end is nowhere to be found.
Life is dumb, and life is stupid…a mountain made from a silly mound.
Heated words exchanged and lobbied in war torn rage
Advice and reflections and wisdom none sought from a wise old sage.
Wasted money, time and thought in silent therapy
When love and happiness and smiles end in agony
All so fleeting and quick to turn
When a lover’s spat spark, ignite and fiercely burn
Stagnation, a cesspool, dank and muddy mired.
Let go the poisoned flow, but again and again I grow so tired.
Go. Go. Anger and hate.
Let me die. Let me die. Unhappy fate.
