I cried for days.
Your words cut deep, and blissfully unaware-
you lived your life,
as though all were well.
I wept at night...
while you stayed busy,
and, you never knew.
The pain was sharp and constant,
hard to hide-
though I hid it well,
I spoke when spoken to,
smiled on cue. Even listened
to the radio.
And, you never knew.
But I couldn\'t forget,
and the hurt remained.
The words were etched on my soul.
You had your own troubles-
and lived your life.
Though years have since passed,
still, you never knew.
