tthematics:

there are new boys that occupy my mind now. i let them slip their hands on my leg and kiss my neck too. and when they try to hold my attention and give me what you couldn’t, I spit it fiercely back at them. how could they invite themselves in and make themselves at home in a heart that wasn’t taking any guest. what you did was make me realize that I am more than that, I am more than them. my heart is a home and maybe someone will be lucky enough to get their own set of keys. but for right now it’s just a soft song of solitude and there is no sadness in this house, it is full of confidence and pride and no one can utterly destroy my home again.

“A borderline suffers a kind of “emotional hemophilia”; she lacks the clotting mechanism needed to moderate her spurts of feeling. Prick the delicate “skin” of a borderline and she will emotionally bleed to death.”
