...

I counted your sentences. I rehearsed your refrains. I frowned at your inside jokes. I mustered up a smile. I inhaled your ego. I choked on your ignorance. I was ashamed of myself. I was afraid of the situation. I chuckled at your bliss. I cursed you in the dark. I said things behind your back. I stabbed myself in the back. I felt all these emotions. I took them in, and breathed some out.
