The Funeral
"I don't need you anymore. I will make my way, don't you doubt that. You can leave, you can stay gone. You can take all the memories with you, they don't do me any good. Today I will bury all of my memories, feelings and thoughts. I will bury you and it's going to be the funeral. The funeral, of all we used to be."
Chapter 1: The Funeral  I cannot remember the day you left me, because you never said goodbye.
  Now I am barely breathing, don’t know where to go.
  Everyone keeps asking me what happened and I am not able to answer that question, I’m still trying to find an answer to that myself.
  We used to be an ‚us‘.
  I am still not sure what changed.
  You said horrible things to me over the years.
  So did I.
  But I never held it against you.
  Unlike you. You held it against me.
  Did you wake up one day and decided I am not worth it?
  Not worth fighting for?
  Not worth holding on too?
  I keep thinking it over again and again and again.
  I cannot let go.
  But I have to, I know that.
  It’s tearing me apart.
  You left me and I’m starting to accept that.
  I have to.
  I have to accept it, otherwise I will not survive this.
  But you cannot keep coming back when you feel like it. I’m not a toy.
  I have to deal with this on my own.
  I have to learn to look after myself.
  I don’t need you anymore. I will make my way, don’t you doubt that.
  You can leave, you can stay gone.
  You can take all the memories with you, they don’t do me any good.
  Today I will bury all of my memories, feelings and thoughts.
  I will bury you and it’s going to be the funeral.
  The funeral, of all we used to be.
The End
