That day the truth came out

The day my tears were shed

Was always afraid to cry in front of you

Though I had no energy left to hide

Years have passed and now I remember

You cried too

Silent tears

Tears without heaving and breathlessness

I ignored you

I was too angry to see

Only cared about my own pain

Took these four years to remember

You cried too

Something you said you never do

I guess I’m sorry

You aren’t the monster I painted you

I made you worse

Made you worse so it was easier

Easier to leave you

To leave and begin to forget you
