The truth is my parents never loved me. That's the truth. I didn't experience moments of care, affection, or compassion because their hearts were of stone. The lowest manifestations of life care for their young. That instinct, that movement, did not flow within them. It hurts to come upon this wave of realization. That wave drowns me only because I haven't gone deeper. My parents did not love me because love was absent from their hearts. They, too, never loved. It had nothing to do with me. They, too, were lonely. Desperately lonely. So much so, that they were blind to me, covered in their darkness. Oh, how I pity them. Oh, how I pity us.
