Click hereI tell myself I couldn’t have known
But I did
It was painted on you
Dark subtle color, faint line
In your eyes
Your sad smile
When I asked about your parents
I saw it
I didn't think I could be right
And rather than risk turning my cheeks red
I let you suffer more
My wrists should have tasted that steel
Years later
Words are worthless
I’m sorry

jthserraalmost 20 years agothe tragic outcome painted so vividly in your words, and the guilt, sharp as a blade, is painful. A ton of emotion in these few words... very well done.
