The Blood & The Bones

She always loved too much.

So many times they said…you’re too good for me…I don’t deserve you. And the thing they didn’t say…you’re not the one.

All those times, with her love given in abundance asking for the bare minimum in return, she still ended up alone.

So, eventually she decided.. I’ll cast out my net once more and all the broken pieces, the unrequited love, the too good and the too much.. I’ll pull it back in… I’ll try to find what’s left of me from loving the unlovable and tuck it away at the corner of not quite regret and things I messed up unintentionally. Hiding it from anyone, even the right ones because, let’s be honest, they’re always the wrong ones too.

They all said, with their withering apologies, that they were too hard to love. But, in the end, she realized it must’ve been her that was too hard to love, after all.

And so she promised herself never to do so again.
