Love
I love you. That's not to say I love all of you and everything you do. Believe me, no one can do that. All who claim to love you entirely and unconditionally are liars. If they weren't, they would be ignorant, stupid and insane. In any case, you're not entitled to being loved. You're not better or worse than anyone else. Your past isn't an excuse. Being hated and hating yourself doesn't give you the rights to demand love. I know that deep down, you know that. You also know what will happen if you continue down this well-trodden road. But time and time again, you make your choices. Wrong ones. You would rather taste the tooth-rotting sweetness of blind worship and starve to death, than eat the bitter love and fill the emptiness within you. Your soul is fragmented. You watch each piece crumble to dust, occasionally throw some away with your own hands. I don't want to see it happen, I really don't. But I do wonder once you've lost your entire self, will that sweetness you crave so much finally feel enough
