Truth or Nothing
My eyes hurt from crying
My heart hurts from holding it in
And still I can’t tell you
Because I dread the hurt you’d feel
The hurt I would cause if you knew
So I walk past, holding my breath as you ask
What’s wrong?
You can sense something
You must know
Only a mother can notice a quiet change
When did you notice?
Was it when I let out a sniffle?
Said my allergies were the cause of my blood shot eyes?
The eyes that had seen a nonstop flow of salty tears, that forced me to catch my breath
The same eyes that focused on yours, and said I was okay
When did you know?
Do you know?
What do you think was wrong?
Can I even ask without admitting there was something wrong?
My eyes still hurt from crying
And my heart squeezes in anger for holding it in
But I still can’t tell you
Because I’d dread the hurt you’d feel
So I’ll take the pain, just to spare you my truth
