There was before. Before he destroyed her. Before her tears ran down her pale skin even though she knew he didn't care. Before she gripped her hair so tight so she could feel like she had a grip over reality that her knuckles turned white. Before she heard knocks at her door with police sirens outside. Before she gripped her hair so tight her knuckles turned white just so she could have a grip on reality. Before she forgot what her life was before him. Before she gripped her hair so tight her knuckles turned white because she couldn't find reality and she needed a grip on it before she lost herself again. Because boys will laugh in your face and say 'baby you didn't mean a thing' and he didn't care even though her tears rolled down her pale skin that was usually naturally tan.
Before she gripped her hair so tight so she could feel like she had a grip on reality.
Nothing was certain but death, really.
