Today I saw you
Purple-crimson hair
Same terrible makeup
Same projection of body image issues
Today I gave you a chance
Something to finally fight for
Same immaturity
Same refusal to take responsibility
You told me that I was blaming you for your everything
You told me that one of my most traumatic memories was false
You invalidated every feeling I have had towards your words and actions
You invalidated my feelings because you couldn't fathom ever saying that
I look in the mirror everyday
I look in the mirror and see a disgusting slob everyday
I look in the mirror and tell myself that no one will look at me
And think
wow
I look in the mirror and think about how
my waist isn't small enough
my things are too big
my face too plump
I look in the mirror everyday and see your insecurities
Today I saw my abuser
Purple-crimson hair
Same large thumb I can never escape
Same manipulation
Today I saw my abuser
Today I didn't walk up to the bar
Today I didn't order an angel shot
Today I broke my own heart
