Fight

You've never pushed me around
I've never felt the sting of a slap

But as fists flew from your mouth
They cut and bruised more
Than any punch thrown could

We stood in shocked silence
Startled in the aftermath

Deaf

You don't listen
Always distracted
With things that
Have to do
With you
Sometimes
When I say your name
Again and again
You'll hold yourself still
Long enough for me
To open my mouth
And forget how to speak
All of these secrets
Keep building up
Inside of me

Masquerade

We both have parts to play
Different masks for different days
Your sad eyes stare back at me
I’m waiting for someone to see
Our hurt is radiating
This facade is slowly crumbling
　
　

Alone

I don’t need you

You don’t need me

Indifferent is the way to be

I don’t need you

You don’t need me

There has never been

A safer place to be
