i used to want you to know
how i got rid of my frustration
to deal with my issues
to get rid of the pain

i used to want you to know
that all of your temporary words
found themselves permanent on my flesh
that all your careless actions
led to careful precision
with a blade on my chest

one day i was reckless
didn't care to hide it
that day you saw it
you didn't even mind it

i used to want you to know
i used to want a reaction
now that you know
i realize i expected too much
because in truth you hardly even looked twice

g.a
