I wanted nothing but peace.
To be able to spend a weekend without the fear of an argument, bitterness and spite. And I got it. Finally, after an enormous breakthrough last weekend, I have got peace.
Which will be why I've crawled under my rock and am sitting in my room in floods of tears. Excellent. The one thing I didn't allow for is that by removing the fear of impending something, I suddenly exposed just how bitterly lonely I feel. And, ultimately, how empty.
It's a really scary feeling. Chilling.
The temptation to just lurk in here and only come out to work is insanely compelling. And I don't actually know what else to do. There isn't anything. I crave affection now like some crack addled addict and know, given experience, it's the one thing I can't have.
And yet was managing to at least use a substitute in the form of turmoil to fill the chasm.
I know there might be occasions when affection will creep in and light up my insides, but it will be, by definition, a temporary fix, a moment. Leaving the wound open once more to fester and grow.
I really should be more careful what I wish for.
