sacrifice

to think we were best friends this morning

and now,

i bite the back of my hand

to keep from screaming obscenities

into your ugly face.

 

you sit on your pedestal,

immersed in yourself,

and accuse me of immaturity

when i walk away

when you say

"i don't care

about you."

 

you think

that i act this way

because i am

"insecure"

"pathetic"

"sensitive"

but really,

darling,

it's because

i have realized that

i

deserve

better

than

this.
