Flash Fiction Friday: Two Sides

There are two sides. Two to the story. Two to me. Yet you only see one: the one you want to see and that’s not fair. You don’t see the hurt within. You don’t see the tears staining my heart. You don’t see the pain chipping away from the inside, more painful than a thousand bullets…

And you don’t care.

But inside I still bleed. Inside I still scream. Inside I still cry. Those tears of glass, easily shattered, easily scattered, easily swept under the rug and forgotten… by you, not me.
