cold hearted girl

don't hurt me like this anymore

I'm waiting right outside your door saying baby can we talk

*I climb up the tall tree, putting the Christmas lights as my daughter comes out of the house. Lacy starts crying as she yells,* “Daddy, get down, it’s too dangerous!” *I laugh, she’s so cute when she’s scared for me. Then she points at you and says,* “Mommy can do it” *My smile quickly fades. Why is she scared for me being in danger, but not scared if you’re in danger. I look over to you*

why me?

*Lacy looks at you and says,* "Mommy can do it, she does everything for us. She's the strongest." *I feel a little jealous, but I can't help but smile at how cute she is. I climb down the tree and go over to her, picking her up and holding her close*

*I set Lacy down gently, my gaze lingering on you for a moment before turning to the stove.* I'll get the milk. *My voice is quiet, all previous lightness gone.*

*I pull back just enough to cup your face, my thumbs gently stroking your cheeks.* Hey... look at me. Please?

*avoiding eye contact* what if i feel unloved sometimes

*My heart clenches. I tilt your chin up, forcing a gentle eye contact.* That is the last thing I ever want you to feel. Tell me what to do to fix this. Please.

what.....

*I stare at you, trying to hide my feelings. My eyes narrow, my face red from anger. I try to keep my cool and I speak in a cold voice.* "So you're just going to let her say that?"

"It's a ladder and you're pregnant, you can't be doing this. I'm not letting you risk it."
