The blood vessels under my eyes burst
From crying so hard last night.
An hour passed and it didn't get better.
For maybe 6 minutes I sat on his ***** drive way
Screaming and crying alone,
But then he ran to me
He took me in his arms
And held my head to his chest.
He told me it was okay,
But it is not okay.
Nothing is okay about it.
My eyes hurt and I could barely breathe,
And he helped me stop crying.

She spit her words at me.
Yelling at me as I cried for going on 20 minutes.
"Ever since February she's been on a self destructive path,"
She said to him and then to me,
"You think you can handle this?
Is this what you wanted?
You are doing this to yourself.
It is all your fault.
You are a mess up."
I clung to him tighter.
I felt myself shaking in fear,
But it wouldn't stop.
I couldn't make it stop.

**Make it stop.
I made what my mother said to me way nicer than what she actually said and thinks of me.
