I reached out for you. I guess I was convinced that you would comprehend my struggles and offer comfort. I believed that you'd be there for me with reassurance and understanding of my pain. Yet, you never listened. As I poured my heart out to you, you chose to turn away, leaving me stranded in my thoughts. Minutes stretched to hours as I sat, consumed by tears, trying to cope with your betrayal and your absence. In that moment, I realized that the care I thought existed was nothing but an illusion.
