I Never Loved You

How can I make you see that every cruel word you leave on the people I love does not fade. It sinks into me, takes root, and a bitter flower begins to bloom in the shape of you. The same sharp thorns you cast towards others turn in my thoughts until, quietly, they begin to point back at you. They score their message into me as the bitter flower opens in my mind: I never loved you and I certainly never will.
