gabii. says: i think this house just makes me sad
...it's weird how a random statement makes you think.
there's the front door. once, i sat behind it staring at it for over half an hour; then i started crying. My sisters asked why; there was nothing wrong, my parents were going to be home soon, but I cried, and cried.
They walked through the door and said, "Your mother has cancer."
there's the dining room, where my sister sat crying hysterically for over a day, because my parents just couldn't forgive her for a childish mistake; and when she dried out of tears, she went to her bedroom.
there's the bottom of my stairs, where my mother once said to me, "I may have to love you, but I don't have to like you." before throwing a bin in my back.
there's the kitchen, with too much bitterness and petty fights to recall.
there's the office, next to the bedroom. once, my parents spent a night screaming and hurtling their hatred like plates, before they moved to the kitchen and began using actual plates. when they ran past, screaming, they noticed me sitting there, crying silently; and so whisperscreamedfought instead.
there's the kitchen table. i found out about my father's affair there; i could never forgive him for making my sister cry for so long over something so stupid when he was fucking some whore, loving some whore in another country when he couldn't even hug me.
there's the bathroom, with the depression and the eating disorders and the sadness and loneliness and self hatred reflecting off tiles and mirrors and walls.
there's my bedroom. so many tears.
too many memories.
sometimes, i think it's best to move on.
if only i fucking could.
