Love Me Harder
Not giving him enough time to interrupt with his protests, I carry on.
"I hate myself for hurting you and that hatefulness only grows every time I see you." I state, feeling my voice shake.
Composing myself, I continue.
"I can feel it happening, Rio. This hate and anger I feel for myself, its eating me up. I'm spiralling down and I refuse to take you with me. I don't want us to end up like them." I say, chocking on my words slightly.
Rio sighs in frustration and I can tell he's at a loss for words. He knows who I'm referring to as we've had many previous conversations about the issue.
