didn't you know...?

Do you know it hurts to leave me here?

Bleeding, scarred, begging for someone to see,

And you won't shed a single tear—

Even though we've been through so much—for me. 

 

Didn't you know?

 

Do you know it kills me when you walk away?

Your back is turned, footsteps left, and I still stand,

But you keep leaving me there, day after day,

So I fall and fall, but you won't ever see me land. 

 

Didn't you know?

 

Do you know how I die when you lie?

Hair over your eyes that are glued to your feet,

Nervous like I won't see through the things you hide,

I know I'm too much, but you took the heat.

 

Didn't you know?

 

Do you know that I cry because I don't know?

I don't know why you aren't here anymore, by my side,

I'm so lost in this sea, in the music, in this twisted show,

And you're too callous to see my goodbye. 

 

Didn't you know

It's my time to go?

    I’ve always wondered

    What it’s like to be myself

    Openly and honest

    And not hiding behind bookshelves

    Waiting for someone to see

    And let me into their heart.

    My neighbor is doing Duolingo across the street,

    He’s in his sixties learning a new language

    And I’m just eating leftovers, watching him,

    Wondering if he’s practicing French for his husband.
