I hope you know he loves you he just doesn’t know how. I hope you know he is broken beyond repair. That you no longer need to be living this nightmare. It seems like darkness all around but I promise this light will be found. You’re worthy of so much more than this man can…

Irony
I entrusted in you everything I knew, Hoping someone would finally come through. Asking for permission, You put me in permanent intermission.
