Wake up to the sound of your phone ringing. It’s her, pick it up. Keep yourself together. Don’t cry. Don’t scream. Don’t apologize. She’s lying, don’t let her. Don’t forgive her. Don’t believe her. (You want to). Accept her apology. Don’t cry when she lies. Don’t scream when she calls you again to apologize. Forgive her again. Wake up to your tear-stained pillows. It’s her, clean it up. Don’t cry when she lies again. Don’t scream when she doesn’t apologize this time. (You want her to). Forgive her anyway. Keep yourself together.

Don’t cry.

Don’t scream.

Don’t apologize.
