you killed my flower

28. "It gets better."

In my head,

I still repeat the things

you said to me.

And when I reach out for help,

when I ask why this is happening,

all they have to say is,

"It gets better."

No, it doesn't.

You just get used to it.

Although I knew this was coming,

it still hurts.

And now

all I ask

is for you to be by my side,

right now...

Is that too much to ask for?
