I thought
You cared
For who I am.
All of the passion,
The excitement,
That lives within
My very bones.
But now I know
You cared for
The girl you
Thought I should be -
Timid, sweet, small,
A girl who knows
\"When to shut up\",
So I do.
Tears shed in secret,
An awkward laugh,
I have dulled
Myself to nothing
To make you happy,
And you call it
Love.
