I miss the blood and the pain trickling from the open gashes you put in my skin. I miss seeing the streaks of dripping crimson, I miss the release, I miss the escape. You are like a lost lover, and as pathetic as it sounds, I grew to love you for always being there when I had no one to turn to. I knew I could run to you when pain was building up inside me. You could always bring it to the surface. I loved your abuse, I loved your anger, I loved your darkness. I pushed you away and I forced you out because people -- strangers, told me you weren't the angel I thought you were. They finally think I've gotten over you. They're wrong. I want you back more than ever, but I know I can never have you again.
Life is getting hard. There are days when I want you so badly. Questions, thoughts, and feelings I can't explain are dragging me down. I can't talk to anyone -- that's why I wish I had you here. I need your brutality, your insensitivity, your thousands of contradictions. I don't know what will happen to me without you. I hate you for leaving. I hate myself for pushing you away.
These are the letters we wanted to send or should have sent, but didn't. Send your letter to Open Letter. You may sign your letter or not. It's up to you.
