This is the one about Jake:
The Unlicensed Therapist
Don’t worry
Everything will be ok
No matter what you’re going through,
I’m always only a phone call away
I’ll always be there for you
So just call if you need me
I’m starting to lose sleep worrying about you
And when I need help you don’t really do anything for me
Even after everything I do for you
But I’m sorry, I’m being selfish
I shouldn’t expect anything from you
I know you need more help than I do
What more do you want from me?
I’ve already given you so much of my time and energy
And my mental health is all shriveled up and deteriorated
Just so yours can be better
And you never even say thank you
My friend Naomi has told me to leave you countless times
What she doesn’t quite seem to understand is that you guilt trip me every time I try to leave
By telling me how much you “need” me
Even if I try to just have some space
You make me feel like a horrible person for it
You’re suffocating me
I just cared about you and wanted to help someone in need
And I thought we could have a healthy and balanced relationship
But I guess not.
Here is the one about Skyler:
The Grass is Always Greener On the Other Side
Ever since we went on that walk in the forest together
and we fell of a cliff and thought we were about to die together,
something’s been different
Whenever I get a notification on my phone and I see your name,
I get way more excited than I should
and I could honestly talk to you all day
What I’m about to say terrifies me but it’s the truth,
I would honestly rather spend time with you than with my own boyfriend.
When I’m around you I feel lifted up
But then I drop down instantly when I realize
that my codependent mess of a boyfriend will always be in between us
The happiness you give me pains me,
because it makes me wanna get closer with you so badly
but I know that it’ll never happen, and that hurts
I feel so guilty for feeling this way towards you
It’s so wrong
But it’s too hard for me to break up with Jake,
because I know he’ll just guilt trip me into staying like always
I know you know I have a boyfriend, and you probably don’t like me in that way
but for some reason a part of me wants you to like me
despite the fact that I’m dating Jake
I’m such a mess
You don’t like the fact that you have two different colored eyes
So you cover your blue eye with your bangs
Little do you know, the fact that you have two different colored eyes is one of my favorite things about you
You don’t like how different you are from everyone else
And yet that’s exactly what I like about you
Everyone can see that you have a lack of confidence
Your bad posture, your self-deprecating humor, and your inability to accept compliments
But behind all of that you’re so special
You’re so fun to be around
and it’s crazy how much I relate to you
I could have literally the worst day of my life,
and simply just seeing your smile or hearing your voice would make me feel better
I know it’s wrong,
but I like you Skyler, I really do.
What would you think if you knew?
