This is a goodbye letter

You never did truly care, did you?

You stopped caring after my sister

And never truly cared for me

You said you’d get better

But still, you never did

You promised me

You promised me you’d try

Yet after days

Months

Years of canceling plans

Years

Months

Days

Of leaving me behind

You got better for two kids that aren’t your own

You have the audacity to try and talk to me

As if I’d forget

The tears shed at night

The fear of being near you

The fear my mom had of leaving me with you

The fear that I will end up being you

So this is goodbye

Because there will never be another hello
