word vomit

Slow Violence

you exploded in a five-seater

the silence that followed was numbing 

yet you continued like nothing was wrong 

do you feel bad?

i wondered if you would apologize 

admit that you were wrong for once

but you've never been one to do that sort of thing

are you okay now?

have you got it out of your system?

how long have you been holding it?

letting it fester and grow exponentially

was it worth it?

our family is slipping through the crack

i always thought that you would always be there

the one thing i could salvage 

but i decided to let you go

is that selfish of me?

i don't want to keep loving people

who keep hurting me

so see ya later cuz i'm done
