You Didn't Even Ask

by Jackie   Jun 12, 2014


You didn't even ask
You didn't even wonder
Did you even think about
The repercussions of your blunder

You made me sorry that I said a word
Sorry I reached out
Sorry I opened my mouth at all
Sorry I gave you a doubt

As mad as I am right now
The truth is it's on me
Because it's my fault I asked for help
My fault I let you see

Its been a very long time
Since I've ever felt this broken
Since I ever cried this many tears
From words I should have left unspoken

But let's keep on pretending
That all is well and fine
Because clearly the reality
Is that I wasted my time

The worst part about this all
Is that it's you I chose to tell
Figured id let you see a piece of me
When I'm not doing so well

Had I known one night could do this
Break me down this bad
I would have at least kept it to myself
Instead of being this mad

You had the right intentions
But it's the results you didn't see
Because the past 24 hours
Have been spent on me hating me

You're response will be I love
And you want me to know you care
But the way you chose to "help" me
Wasn't the least bit fair

I put you in that position
I backed you into that wall
But I guess if you opened your eyes
You weren't that trapped at all

I could have just hid the cuts
I've been doing it all my life
But I trusted you enough to ask
For help when I picked up my knife

This could have gone so many ways
But now what's done is done
I can keep the rest to myself
Because it's trust that I have none
