STICK

(thank god i’m not pregnant with the devil’s baby.)

How do you wrap your head around loving someone who never existed? How could you stay with someone who never cared to know you? How did you let a liar sit across from you over and over? How did you watch them spit on your wins and still stay loyal? How did you sleep next to someone who used intimacy as a reward? Why did you keep going when they erase you the second someone else walks in the room? How does it feel knowing they were building a secret life behind your back while calling you whenever they were in crisis? How could you believe the gifts meant anything when they were hiding the truth? How is it that you talked about having children and they didn’t mention she was four months pregnant? How did you not see they were stealing from you the whole time? How did you love someone who watched you cry with satisfaction? How have you not burnt the whole memory of them to the ground? Why have you not drove 13 hours to put a brick through their windshield and spider eggs in their truck? How will you ever be able to love again after loving the devil? And why in the world would they name their baby Stick? That’s so embarrassing.
