After All That

They try so hard.

They
Hope....Beg....Plead

They
Barrow....Barter....Trade

They
Plan....Plot....Scheme

They
Lie....Cheat....Steal

They
Strive....Struggle....Fight

They
Scratch....Tear....Claw

Just to get into

Your

Mind....Soul....Heart

Then

After all of that

They just walk out.

I have a box of broken fingernails

I pulled out of my chest.

OMG this is still utterly heartwrenching. The hardest thing about reading it, is knowing it's true. Amazing, still! Julia~
