“How we treat each other while ‘playing the game.'”
Author: Candid Corvid Productions
Basically,
It had become clear that she caught up in a game, afterall.
3rd Person
How can tears fall without expression of emotion?
The body knows.
It expresses the soul’s hidden traces.

Goopy Tears
She had thought that her eyes were just watering.
Something Real
To have and to hold.
Faded Anniversary
She couldn’t even remember the day’s numeric, anymore.
Only that it had seemed to be chosen because it was close to Valentine’s Day and her birthday.
A tidy bundle of dates clustered together in a nice, neat package that he could easily ignore and get away with as a repeated blip in his memory’s system.
Oops, so sorry about that…
But once passed, there’s no going back, right?
So the rest of the year, he’d be ‘home free’ to continue his tireless rejection of her.

Sauna
She had searched for some place to go and get a good bone bake, but every place around was too expensive.
Love’s Restraint
No…
She would not disrupt the collective to get what she personally needed.

There.
I said it…
Happy?”

Snarky Laughter
“And to think, I had once briefly considered reading that (clearly for me) b.s. book about ’embracing the crone inside of us.’
No…
‘She,’ too, can go fu** herself – and get her nappy, swollen gums the hell off from sucking on my vital bone marrow!”

Somewhere behind the scenes, my youth is being slowly throttled
Someone give me a blade so that I can cut the bitch-crone’s throat

Jaded
The strength that it took to manage her heartache was causing her to have to cauterize the wound for self preservation, thereby creating dissociation from any further attachment – much to the toxic satisfaction of those involved with alterior motives.

It doesn’t waste time at another’s expense

The Easy Way Out
Starving a love’s connection is an easier out for men than saying goodbye, which I guess is why they often choose to do this.
There is no real invested accountability, and they protect their selves by retaining power – yet keep soaking up the would be partner’s heartfelt energy until it becomes drained from lack of mutual nourishing.
Turning To Stone
And we all know what happens when too much of that happens.
Cut Off From Source
Distance makes the heart grow tired, feeling undesired and irrelevant.
Well Yeah,
She had cried on the drive back…
Briefly Purple
When she got up early the next morning to use the bathroom, she looked down and noted that her ankles and feet were turning purple.
She shouldn’t be surprised, though, due to how much she had danced through swelling – and she had felt proud to be at least briefly well coordinated.
