For my parents,
You taught me to be dainty
to be girly
to smile and be pleasant
to hold myself high and never let anyone knock me down
and to love someone indefinitely eventually
at a young age.
But then you wrecked my world
you tore up the only example I knew
of love;
you cheated and lied and yelled and cried
at each other
at me
at us
you taught me in that moment that
love
can end.
something that lasted for years and three children
can end.
So whose fault is it that I can't trust
not only myself
but you or anyone who even tries to get close to me?
Whose to blame that I can't imagine a lifetime
years and three children
with anyone at all?
because I think it's you.
You brought down everything I looked up to.
