mr casually cruel

i think i know now what taylor was talking about when she referred to you as "mr casually cruel". i would say you broke me, shattered me even, but the hard headed, strong willed feminist in me that always puts up a brave face is telling me to delete those words from the page immediately. so i won't say it. but you did dent me. just a little. all the careless comments and casual cruelty that you failed to notice, it built up in me. until eventually, i guess it just toppled over. i couldn't hold the weight of you pulling down on my shoulders anymore. so i let you go, and honestly, it's true what they say, it really is such a relief. so no, you don't get the satisfaction, you didn't break me. you just added to the many dents in the cold, hollow tin that i once called my heart.
