You wanted to include him in the life you always wanted. You built him castles in the air. You painted rainbow bridges he could walk across to find you. All the while, he snuck behind, dismantling all your fairy tales with rude remarks and lies. He drowned the only story he believed in the last drop of whiskey at the bottom of a bottle.
Castles made
of glass elixir
shatter in your hands.
