something 'bout the way
you had no clue
that this whole time
i was in love with you
every time you said my name,
it finally felt like it was mine
,
not some borrowed thing
i watched strangers wear better
than i ever could
you made me feel
like i had a body worth holding,
a soul that wasn’t just echo
and i still never told you
because the scars,
they open
blood dripping
staining me
until all i see
is hurt and broken
and that’s why i hide,
that’s why i run,
that’s why i drink,
because then
at least
i’m actually real
i loved you
so quietly
i disappeared in it
and you,
you never saw me
not really
not once
god, how could you not?
