Words I Wouldn't Expect
I am officially broken.
He looked me in the eye today.
And you know what he said?
“If you’re gonna leave again,
Stay gone. Don’t come home.
I don’t want you here.
You have put your mother
Along with myself
Through a living hell.
You don’t wanna stay with me?
Then don’t. Leave.
But when you’re in trouble,
Spending the night in jail,
You’re gonna call me.
You’re gonna ask for my help.
And I’m going to leave you there.
Maybe next time
You won’t think
About leaving.
I love you, but I’m done.”
And I sat there
Staring, speechless.
That.
Broke.
Me.
