You say I’m the villain,
But villains inflict damage.
Villains take what’s not theirs
To begin with.
So let’s take account,
Shall we?
You stole my brother
From me.
You stole any chance I had
Of becoming an aunt.
You took my certainty
That family
Was the one thing
I could always rely on.
You destroyed
My entire world view.
You even took
My will to live.
You tore my family apart.
What about yours?
You have your husband.
You have your baby.
You have
Your happily ever after.
The only thing
I took from you
Was my presence,
Which you never wanted.
Making the absence
Of my presence
My present to you.
You’re welcome.
You, by contrast,
Took everything from me.
That makes you
The villain of this story.
