"Why do you act like that?"

"A boyfriend? Yeah, right. If he exists, he must be crazy to want you."

"You hurt me! You left me for him!"

"Dear, it's just... you know you're not pretty. Why are you trying?"

"So you're trying to steal him from me? He left me for you... you! Why would he want you? You're nothing."

"Don't disappoint your father. You're already a disgrace, don't make it worse."

"I love you."

"You're a selfish bitch."

"I'll try to do better next time..."

"I'm just tired. I wasn't mad..."

"You can't do it."

"Broken foot, huh? Oh boo hoo."

"Leave me the fuck alone."

"You're not pretty."

"So he loves you?"

"You're picking him over me? I thought we had something special..."

"You tried to kill yourself? But you're so loved by all of us."

"Stop being so stupid and listen to me!"

"You act like such a slut."

"You don't mind, do you?"

"Please come back to me. I need you."

"Thank you for always being there for me."

"You're like a sister to me."

"Do you want to go out? On a date?"

"You mean the world to me."

"Go bother someone else."

"You are nothing."

"You aren't pretty."

"You aren't special."

"Stop trying. It's no use."

They've said all these things to me.
Their words echo in my brain,
Until my anxiety cripples me.

No apologies,
Half-ass compliments,
Insults,
And betrayals.

Why did I give my heart away?
