It hurt.
Incredibly bad.

A stab to my heart, that I didn't think was there
You wanted me to feel something

After being numb for so long
I don't think this is what you had in mind

I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment
I don't know why you stay-

I'm not good enough.
I'm not passionate enough.

I'm not enough.
I'm me.

I have such a heart for love
I always has- I've always loved everyone

But I don't show it.
I never have.

I'm not good at expressing feelings
Even today- when you poured your heart out

All I could do was stand there..
I can't speak.

I'm mute.
No opinion in this

No opinions
Not when it comes to "us"

No, no not this time
I've always bent at the will of others

Said what they wanted to hear
Said what I thought I felt

And I just got lashed for it
Bubbling red skin

I will stay me this time
You
Can
Not
Change


ME
