Where were you
when I needed you the most?
When I cried myself to sleep
and woke up pretending fine.
Where were you
when I stood up for you
without you asking?
Where were you
when the loud Girl
faded into
“I don’t leave the house anymore”?
You didn’t care.
Not enough.
I gave you all the signs
all the signs
ALL THE SIGNS.
You ignored them.
Every one.
I lied.
I’m not tired of myself,
or of people.
I’m tired of the feeling
that the ones I thought
would come
never came.
You never came.
I was defeated.
Nowhere to run.
Chasing my shadow all night long.
Chasing the version of you
that promised to be there.
It’s fine.
I don’t blame you.
We all have our ways of drowning.
But never was I not there.
Wish I could say
the same about you.
