it's not me, it's you

-

one day I got tired of complaining
then my heart stopped aching
to be loved and desired
by you

my attachment disintegrated
as our dreams went up in flames
a future cremated
a present in purgatory

and you did not even notice
that your world was crumbling
too preoccupied
to have me on your mind

you never saw it coming
and it was happening right in front of you
you ignored the signs
and continued to take me for a ride

but your ride has an end
your vehicle only has space for one
an incomplete journey
caused by a dead end

and instead of turning around
it is time for me to get off
no longer a passenger taken for granted
by you

It almost diminishes the individual experiences in isolation and makes it seem like they must have a culmination of trauma to be worthy of our empathy. That being said it was really well written, very poetic

Genre: Fantasy/Romance Reading age: 16+ Rating: 7/10 You’ll like this if you liked The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes or Wicked The Musical. I love a prequel and I love seeing the human side to a villain, so when I found out that this book was a prequel to Alice in Wonderland, and the Queen of Hearts was the main character, I knew it would be right up my street. That being said if you’ve watched or read Alice in Wonderland, you know that the story sort of makes you feel like you’re going mad - Or that you’re reading a 10 year old ‘but it was all a dream’ school essay. Well, the prequel is no different. It's extremely creative and the world building is very patiently curated but it's also by no means an easy read. I kind of felt like Marissa Meyers wanted me to be confused. And although she did capture the magic of the story really well, it sometimes felt so far fetched that it was difficult to properly immerse myself into the plot. That being said once you reach the half way po
