“I don’t think I’m as excited as you are.”
I told him how that statement hurt me.
He said I was like glass.
I wished that rather than making
snide remarks that he would
just bite his tongue.
But his tongue was buried too far down my mouth.
He was right. I was glass in
every sense of the word.
I was dirtied by his fingerprints.
But my heart was shattered long
before he ever touched me.
I used my tears to wipe him away
but it only smeared the thought of him,
spreading it all over me.
I have yet to get his hands completely
off me even though he is notorious
for rubbing me the wrong way.
