Yesterday I was asked one of those questions where the person doing the asking doesn't really realize the implications of what he's asking. I choked on my response to that question because I didn't feel like going into it. But really, it's been bugging me. So here's the answer to the question: "What can I do to ease the burden?" (This is not the answer to the actual question, you already know that; but to the one I heard in the subtext.)
You want redemption? You want to make good for your past sins? You can marry me. You can get better. You can actually give me the life that I was promised. You can stop being a liar. You can superglue the pieces of my heart back together. You can pick up every shattered dream and you can put back every single tear I ever cried over you. You can make it so that you are actually the person you pretended to be. If you can make it so that none of this ever happened, that would ease the burden. Thank you. I don't think you can do that; at least not now. So, please...focus on yourself, which is actually rather ironic, and just help with what I asked.
Perfect soundtrack for this post:
Unlove Me ~ Julie Roberts
"Unloose this hold you've got on me
Unlock this heart that can't get free
Unlive the night you kissed and hugged me
Undream the dreams that we both shared
Unfeel the feelin' that you cared
Before you leave me, please unlove me
Unlove me
Unmake all the memories I can't forget
Unlove me
Let me go back to the way I was before we met
Back to the days when I was strong
When it wasn't sad to be alone
When I was happy-go-lucky
And I didn't know how good it felt
To hold you and feel my heart melt
Show me a little mercy and unlove me
Unlove me
Untie all the strings between you heart and mine
Unlove me
do it real slow, so I don't have to lose you all at one time
Before you pack your bags and leave
One thing I wish you'd do for me
Take a little time to just unlove me
Unlose this hold you've got on me
Unlock this heart that can't get free
Before you leave me, please unlove me
Show a little mercy and unlove me"
