When you said,
"You're the strongest person I've ever known"
I didn't understand.
When you said,
"You can go through a lot and still smile"
I didn't understand
And when you said,
"You can feel pain and agony and still stand up"
I didn't understand.
So you held my heart
and twisted it.
You threw away
all I loved,
broke them into pieces,
and never managed to pick them up.
You broke silence
with blood.
blood
that I now convert to
ink.
like you said,
I smiled through it all.
I didn't want to disappoint you.

I didn't understand.
So you held my heart

You threw away

You broke silence

blood
that I now convert to
ink.
like you said,
I smiled through it all.
I didn't want to disappoint you.
I don't blame you.
