I've NEVER done this to anyone and NEVER would. I wish I could say my mother would say this, but she will ever care. She laughs at and mocks my tears, it's not that she cares that she is the cause. She thinks it's funny. Yeah, I bet it is. Not.


Hidden Tears are Blood-Red

I remember
seeing her tear streaked cheeks
her reddened eyes
her fresh tears about to spill
But I had to stop her
I didn't want to see that
Because I had caused it

So I laughed

"You wimp!
Cut it out! God!
What the f*ck? STOP IT ALREADY!!"

I haven't seen her cry since

Until one day
I walked in her room
And I saw:
Red, looking up at me from her arm (blood: glisten in the light)
"WHAT THE F*CK??!!!" I screamed
She looked at me calmly

"It's the only tears I can hide from YOU."
