I hope you feel bad when you go to sleep
I hope you think of me
Of what I can do
Of what I achieved without you
That I don’t need you
But you need me
When you didn’t want me
Didn’t care enough
Nothing I ever did was good enough
For you
To be a good parent
To check up on me
At the very least
Now I’m more grown-up than I’ve ever been
I had to be strong even though I didn’t want to
Even though I was scared too
He was evil and I thought you were his victim
I thought you needed me to be strong and save you
Like I always had to do before
no
You had your chance and you ruined it
You chose him over me
I don’t think of you
I don’t love you
I don’t love you
I don’t love you
Even though I do
I don’t want to
I hate you
And everything you’ve done to me
All the bad things outweigh the good
Nothing will ever be the same as you
We’ll never have sleepovers in your room
We’ll never have another tortilla fight
We’ll never bond over the cuteness of kitty’s little trot and bushy twitching tail
We’ll never get to sit in the early morning talking about work on the weekends
I’ll never run outside to your car to greet you in the morning
I’ll never see you again
I’ll never see you the same
