The truth of it is-
he's not going to fix you
she's not going to make you forget
the way your father would hit you
He is not going to make your collarbones sprout roses
He will not make you forget how to need
The truth of it is-
She is not a savior
She is not able to fight off the demons in your dreams
He will not make you forget the way your mother left
The bloodstains in the bathtub will still be there
The truth of it is-
This is your life
This is not a movie
No one is going to swoop in and save you
You will have to grow your own wings if you want to fly away
