"Mom, why are you leaving?"

"Because I want to make myself better, so I can take care of you."

"Mom, why are you leaving again? We had a good time visiting each other."

"Honey, I have to go."

"Mommy, please stay! You always say you miss me on the phone! You don't have to go! You are fixed now! Will you stay?"

"No darling. I got married. I'm moving away. I can't come back. Goodbye."

"Daddy! Mom doesn't love us anymore."

"I know honey. But daddy still loves you."

"Daddy, why do you leave me if you love me?"

"I have to, Hun. Daddy is sick. He isn't healthy. He needs help."

"Daddy! I can help you! Just stay please! I don't want to be alone!

"No baby girl. I have to go. Goodbye."

"Jennifer, where are you going?"

"I have to leave you."

"Why can't you stay? You can stay here, I will help you! I can take care of you!"

"No, Angel. I need to go."

"Angel darling, are you alright?"

They all ask.

No. I'm not okay. I cut myself because of you. I write like this because of you. I. Hate. You. Why did you have to destroy me? Ruin me, completely and totally? So just go away, like you always do.
