I wept by your side,
But you were much too worried about yourself to take note of it.
I didn't want you to notice because I knew you wouldn't care.
That made me weep more.
You ask if my thoughts are balanced,
I reply with a smile that, "I'm doing okay".
You're not satisfied with the answer,
But yet you move on.
When I'm staring at a plaster wall, for moment after moment with no movement, you watch me.
I feel that it's my lost eyes with an empty expression that you're trying to read.
I slowly and inconspicuously begin to scroll through my head, for positive emotions to display on my face.
I'd love to let you know what I'm chewing over in my head
But you wouldn't want that burden.
Our taste has always been different.
So I'll sit in silence,
and when you think I'm tired
Because of my swollen eye lids and blood shot eyes,
It's really because I wept by your side.
