Can't You Tell That I'm Lying?

You Used to Read My Mind

By Lightning Bolt ⚡Published about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read
Why bother?

⚡⚡

"I'm fine."

💭 I'm not.

"It's fine."

💭 It's not.

"I appreciate you asking."

💭 Why ask when you stopped listening?

"I know you still care."

💭 You stopped caring ages ago.

"It doesn't make any difference."

💭 It makes a big difference to me.

"We can do it some other day."

💭 Tomorrow never comes.

"I'm always here."

💭 but I'd rather run.

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

💭 All hope is dead.

"We'll be okay."

💭⚡I'm trapped inside my head.⚡💭

Is there even a 'we' anymore?

Who am I to you?

Do I matter?

Do you see me?

Did you ever really see me?

Who created this quiet disaster?

Why?

When did it happen?

Who's responsible?

⚡I question⚡everything⚡because of you.⚡

All you do is turn away from me

💭 and I allow it. 💭

⚡

"Goodnight."

💭 I still love you.

💔
