I saw the way you flinched when I said
I didn't trust you.
I know it stung.
Good.
I hope it hurt; I hope it leaves a scar.
I hope those words ring in your ears
As you try to fall asleep at night.
I hope they haunt you,
And I hope you know that
I didn't just say it to hurt you.
(Although that is a bonus.)
I meant every word.
*I don't trust you.
