oh shit.

i mean i love you

you're my daughter

but shit

i had a life

planned out for you.

a wedding, colors blue and white,

a boy's tears matching his shirt

as he saw you walk down the aisle.

two children, maybe three,

little rugrats to call me grandma

no

not grandma

i'm too young for that.

i had a life planned out for you but

you just ripped it away

tore it up like paper

tossed it away like trash

it's gone.

the life i wanted

you to have —

shit.
