You said
I was a good person
You made the guilt shift and move
It tightened in my chest
And I figured it would be safe
To just nod yes
I choked
And you spoke
You said blissful things
Your eyes never pierced like that day
When you said I was a good person
You said it so many ways
I knew I would forget in days
Knew I'd push the innocence away
Let it slither down the darkest
Let it tunnel down in my heart
I stood there,palms sweating
Heart thumping
I stood there and listened
The weather grew cold
And skys turned stony
Your breath showed
As you puffed out every word
I tried to tell you
Tried to show you with my eyes
So I would never have to with my actions
You leaned closer
My back hit brick
You smiled
I simply looked at you
You said
I was a good person
As you moved closer
I thought
I won't be, after you leave.
