i did everything you asked. i sacrificed my resources for you to stay. i swallowed roses in your absence so i still felt pretty when you were gone, but all the thorns pierced into my mouth and throat, showing the red not only on the inside but on the outside. red was a favorite color of yours. i never knew why, but it was. you'd wear red and blue a lot, no matter what you had on. did you like that my mouth dripped red for you too? or that the blue i had never showed up bc it never left its interior shell? it's only really show when i'd stay up at night crying and/or harming myself bc i didn't feel i was enough for you. i didn't feel like i was enough or even yours. you already had a backup plan if something went wrong. you told me it was just us, but i knew differently. the thorns did a good job showing the red, and my tears did a good job of showing the blue. are you happy now?
