I guess you thought it was
good
That your words left craters in my mind.
That every syllable cut through my bones and shredded every nerve.
That my heartstrings snapped with each pause you took.

I guess you thought it was
right
How I stopped fighting
How I started accepting every complaint you had
How I started hating every piece of me you thought were wrong

I guess I thought you would
stop
kicking
when I was already on the ground

I guess
You never found the limit on how much
you can
break a person
in one night
