Purgatorium for a heart

It turned out to be true: the girl named Sarah is precisely the Sarah I thought it was. She says she didn't know, but deep down I feel as if I don't want to believe her. It's so strange, I remember going to see him, coming to the train station looking for him but thinking of someone else. No one specific, just the image of what I always wanted him to be. When I saw him in the middle of the crowd coming towards me I was always surprised: did he really look like that? Even more fragile than I remembered.

But know, after finding out how utterly false he's been, I can't stop thinking about him. The one I should be mad at is the one I want to forgive, and the one who might have done nothing wrong in the end turns out to be the one I blame.

    Beautiful post.

    Paradise, in this case, continues to burn brightly on the opposite end of the candle.

  15. i wish i had the courage to be so blunt on my blog. mine is all froth and fun because sometimes (always?) i'm afraid of honestly translating what i feel.

    you are brave to let us all in like that.

  16. I came here after seeing your comment on my blog (thank you by the way!) and I think I've found myself in something I don't entirely understand, though your writing is beautiful. I hope you can figure it all out, though. If the one you're mad at but want to forgive is the boy in question, maybe reconsider.
