Greeting
You always tried to be quiet.
When your parents said it was hard for them
and it would be better this way,
you stood there with a bag of clothes and pretended to be an adult. You didn't cry in front of them. You'd learned not to cry in public. Because if you cried, you'd be an inconvenience.
The door closed.
And the sound was so ordinary that it made it even more painful.
It was cold in the rented room. You ate on the windowsill because there was no table. You talked to yourself so you wouldn't forget what your voice sounded like. You slept in a sweater. Sometimes you hugged a pillow and imagined it was someone's hands.
Then he showed up.
He noticed you were shaking.
He bought you warm socks.

You started warning them.
Then he said your friends were using you.
You stopped replying.
Then he said it wasn't safe outside.
You started going out only with him.
Then he just looked at you and said:
— Stay home.
And you stayed.
He never said no.
He said I'm worried.
He said, You're mine.
He said, I can't live without you.
And you began to believe that his life was your responsibility.
You began to laugh less.
Talk less.
Exist less.
You sat on the edge of the bed more and more often, feeling a strange emptiness. Not the kind you'd f
