The Sound of the Machines
The only sound: beep… beep… beep of the monitors keeping me alive. Chemical tang of the IV. Life‑or‑death was not a metaphor — it was my reality.
She came. Stood in silence. Said nothing. Then went home and got naked for a stranger online. While my machines screamed that I was still here, she was chasing cheap validation.
The Desecration of a Sacred Vow
This was not a lapse in judgment. It was a character statement, etched in stone. I fought for my life. You fought for attention.
This rage is the cleanest, most honest thing I’ve felt in years — the part of my soul that knows right from wrong. A sacred line wasn’t just crossed; it was pissed on.

Deconstructing the 20‑Year Lie
You discarded two decades like nothing. Right up until the end, you whispered love while planning your exit. You painted me as the villain in a story where I was trying to be your partner.
I searched for the bad man you made me out to be. I couldn’t find him — only records of my attempts to communicate, met with silence.
Direct Dialogues
- You: “I’m bored.”
- Me: “The world is yours. My only ask? Talk to me. Let’s plan together.”
- You: “I have no freedom with money.”
- Me: “Spend what you want. My only ask? Let’s budget together.”
I was turning a key in a lock you had already changed. And when I pushed you to reconcile with your mother — the one who once accused me of beating you — I opened the door for the whisper that I was the problem.
Some people are easily manipulated. Don’t be one.
