you_don't
alyssa
love
me
at
least
that's
what
I
want
to
think
I
jump
to
illogical
conclusions
always
always
I
am
the
house
that
my
mom
built
I
am
the
house
that
my
mom
is
watching
parenthood
together
on
tv
today
,
I
said
daringly "
this
whole
business
of
having
children
is
so
disheatening.
No
matter
how
hard
you
try
they'll
end
up
horribly
" (
something
along
those
lines
)
and
she
asked
if
I
thought
I
had
turned
out
badly
.
I
wanted
to
say
yes
but
I
ccouldn't
so
I
said
I
didn't
know
.
Her
response
: "
well
you've
got
a
boyfriend
who
you
love
and
who
loves
you
.
You're
studying
plant
biology
at
the
college
of
your
choice
.
And
you've
got
a
good
heart
.
I
am
proud
of
the
way
you
have
turned
out
.
I
don't
know
how
you
couldn't
think
you
have
turned
out
well
"
and
I
had
to
try
hard
not
to
cry
.
All
of
this
is
supposed
to
give
meaning
to
my
life
?
I
am
supposed
to
believe
that
she
is
proud
of
me
when
all
she
ever
does
is
make
me
feel
like
a
failure
?
She
doesn't
realize
the
complicated
game
she
plays
with
my
life
.
She
doesn't
realize
that
she
did
indeed
fuck
me
up
.

the repeater
little
fury
bug
i
waved
to
them
.
they
waved
back
mockingly
with
an
evil
grin
.
i
started
running
after
them
,
but
they
were
way
too
fast
on
their
shiny
new
razor
scooters.
I
got
on
my
tricycle
,
but
that
didn't
help
.
My
thighs
hurt
after
a
couple
minutes
of
pedaling
and
I
went
so
slow
that
I
could
barely
see
my
dreams
anymore
...they
disappeared
into
the
sunset
...so
i
sat
there
on
my
tricycle
with
aching
thighs
,
just
waiting
until
my
shadow
disappeared
and
blended
with
the
night
.

...
Deomis
laugh
anymore
.
why
not
?
I
used
to
be
able
to
read
it
in
every
sparkle
of
your
eye
,
every
little
movement_of_you
Ever
since
they
brought
you
back
things
haven't
been
the
same
.
I
yearn
to
look
into
your
eyes
and
find
that
familiar
warmth
.
But
when
I
look
at
you
now
-
all
I
see
are
the
closed
windows
that
bar
me
from
seeing
your
soul
ever
again
.
I
cry
by
your
side
and
you
don't
comfort
me
.
I
pour
my
soul
out
to
you
,
but
you
don't
hear
a
word
.
I
hold
your
hands
,
but
you
don't
hold
mine
anymore
.
You
used
to
be
so
alive
-
but
you
don't
have
that
now
.
