mother dearest

it's devastating loving you and trying to leave despite that i underestimated how hard you'd actually fight to come back seeing the effort almost makes me wish things were different but i know you'll never be a person i could ever trust again and you love me or so you say as you undercut and avoid all or nothing it seems there is no other choice boundaries firm as i grieve for a home i never knew and it's just the worst the backtracking and sugarcoating and rearranging of truth so now i'm far enough to feel all the holes my soul leaks from and my battered heart is bracing for the hurt thats yet to come
