Pearl
I used to love you, Rose.
I used to, but now, I can’t see past all the lies you told. Everything you did to me that I didn’t have the will to say no to.
I used to think you were perfect.
I couldn’t bear to let that image of you go.
Only when you’re gone, can I see past that perfect facade. Only when you’re no longer here can I cast aside the programming that made me see you as a Diamond, perfect and unflawed. Only when you’re gone can I see how you struggled, and how you failed.
We all fail. We all struggle. But you did so much that I can never forgive.
I used to love you.
But now, I’ve moved on.
