I stood in that motel room listening to him tell me to stay in my place like I was some secret he forgot to hide. He said I better not break up his family or I would find out the hard way. Funny how he never said any of that when he was holding me like I was the only thing he wanted. I thought what we had meant something but tonight I realized I was just the space he ran to when he got tired of pretending at home. My heart cracked right there and I felt stupid for believing even half his words.
