How dare you rip my heart from my chest, take the parts you hated, and shoved it back into the gaping cavity?
How dare you smile at my as my blood snaked down your wrist and tell me, "It's for the best"?
You were supposed to love me and support my dreams.
This one was a simple dream.
You decided you didn't want it to be my dream.
You broke through my skull and plucked it from its small corner in my mind before shredding it like paper.
I wanted this so badly for myself.
You stole it from me.
You left it as a shatter vase on the marble floor of my sorrow and left me to drown in the bath of my tears.
I managed to hide the pained wound behind a mask of golden smiles and cinnamon buns.
Spilled water was the only symbol of the tears I dammed up.
You mocked me with too-wide grins and sunshine yellow dresses.
Am I to believe you truly care?
