3. You have not felt real disappointment until you have felt the people you love distancing themselves from you slowly.
You have not known violence until you've seen your father destroy your mother's heart for years and scatter bruises over her abdomen the way you scatter flower petals.
You have not known pain until you have lost a person that you once exchanged kisses with.
Maybe you have though.
Pain is presented in a variety of ways but pain is and will always be temporary.
I'm sorry you felt like it was permanent, E.
