Disclose Helplessness

What I have hidden
from you for so long.
Today could be the day.
I finally open up to you,
and show you the scars.

Shocking,
To you it seems so wrong.
A pretty smile.
A few pretty bracelets.
Is all needed to hide the ugly truth.

You say you'll always be there for me.
To love me, hold me when I cry.
But where were you?
You practically watched me bleed.
