Watch You Cry

O 1 1

Maybe it's selfish. Maybe it's inconsiderate.
It's like the question of hurting someone you don't know in order to save the ones you love.
The immensity of love I have for my mother is immeasurable. I want her to be happy. I
need it.
To see her as a shell of a person is the most devestating thing to witness and the realization that maybe she's just a mirror-image of myself makes my stomach drop into depths of hurt.
I
am being selfish.
Why should I waste her happiness? I'm still here. She can still be happy, and then maybe she can stay happy.
Hurting people is a fear among no other. My senses shudder at the reality of my situation. I don't want people to remember me. I wish there was no burden of Declan Slade.
For now, it's happiness.
Not mine, of course.
Never mine.

It's sooo rough. I'm not sure if I approached this chapter well. I have the next one written up so maybe I'll post it in an hour or so. The excuse for my absence is sadly a mixture of school, my social life and work. Apparently when you enter your final years of school, you only have time for so much.
