“
I don’t know how to say this to you but I might as well now as I have
nothing to lose. I’ve already lost everything. If you’re reading this I
might have already left or about to leave. I am broken inside. You may
not have known this but you affected me deeply to a point where I lost
myself in loving you. Yet you tortured me everyday.
These
days I see no light I wake up not wanting to wake up. There was a time I
saw my life with you, a future with you. But you shattered my dreams. I
feel dead inside. I’ve never given so much of myself to someone or
cared so much. You returned my love with cheating and lies. It didn’t
matter how many gifts I gave you or how beautiful I looked for you. I
was scared of getting pregnant but I gave myself completely the pain you
have caused me everyday has destroyed every bit of me, destroyed my
soul.
I
can’t eat or sleep or think or function. I am running away from
everything. The career is not even worth it anymore. When I first met
you I was driven, ambitious and disciplined. Then I fell for you, a love
I thought would bring out the best in me. I don’t know why destiny
brought us together. After all the pain, the rape, the abuse, the
torture I have seen previously I didn’t deserve this.
I
didn’t see any love or commitment from you. I just became increasingly
scared that you would hurt me mentally or physically. Your life was
about partying and women. Mine was you and my work. If I stay here I
will crave you and miss you. So I am kissing my 10-year career and
dreams goodbye. I never told you but I received a message about you.
About you cheating on me. I chose to ignore it, decided to trust you.
You embarrassed me. I never went out, I never went with anyone else.
I
am a loyal person. I never met anyone with Karthik I just wanted you to
feel how you make me feel constantly. No other woman will give you as
much as I did or love you as much as I did. I can write that in my
blood. Things were looking up for me here, but is it worth it when you
constantly feel the pain of heartbreak when the person you love wants to
abuse you or threatens to hit you or cheats on you telling other girls
they are beautiful or throws you out of their house when you have no
where to go and you’ve come to them out of love or when they lie to your
face or they make you chase after them in their car. Or disrespects
their family.
You
never even met my sister. I bought your sister presents. You tore my
soul. I have no reason to breathe anymore. All I wanted was love. I did
everything for you. I was working for us. But you were never my partner.
My future is destroyed my happiness snatched away from me. I always
wished the best for you, was ready to invest what little money I had in
your betterment.
You
never appreciated my love, Kicked me in the face. I have no confidence
or self esteem left, whatever talent whatever ambition you took it all
away. You destroyed my life. It hurt me so much that I waited for you
for ten days and you didn’t bother buying me something. The Goa trip was
my birthday present but even after you cheated I still spent on you. I
aborted our baby when it hurt me deeply. You destroyed my Christmas and
my birthday dinner when I came back.
When
I tried my hardest to make your birthday special. You chose to be away
from me on Valentines Day. You promised me once we made it to one year
we would get engaged. All you want in life is partying, your women and
your selfish motives. All I wanted was you and my happiness you took
both away from me. I spent money on you selflessly you would throw in my
face. When I would cry for you. I have nothing left in this world to
live for after this.
I
wish you had loved me like I loved you. I dreamt of our future. I
dreamt f our success. I leave this place with nothing but broken dreams
and empty promises. All I want now is to go to sleep and never wake up
again. I am nothing. I had everything. I felt so alone even while with
you. You made me feel alone and vulnerable. I am so much more than this”
