i've seen true heartbreak
i saw it in my mother's eyes after her ex cheated on her
i saw it in my father's eyes that christmas morning, the year my parents divorced
i saw the way my mother grieved

just block him
i would tell her

i would, sweetie. but i can't.
she would say back, shaking her head

i can tell my father still loves my mother
i saw it when i saw the text, a few days before my parents divorced

why? i've never cheated on you, abused you, hurt you
is what it read

i hope i never hurt her

i fucking hate myselfWhere stories live. Discover now
