I’ve been trying to make excuses for you…
Trying to make you appear okay…
But the more I try, the more I realize you were the one who stole the happiness in my days…
I made excuses for your cruelness..
I ignored your critical remarks…
I tried to comprehend the aggression…
Tried even harder to hide the scars…
But the truth is hard to swallow when it’s staring you right in the face…
The way you loved me…
Made me feel as if a person was just something that could be replaced…
And that’s not okay…
And that isn’t right…
I was not the one who started all of those scary fights…
You don’t know how to love.
You don’t know how to give….
And everything you taught me…
I have to unlearn in order to..
Live.
