I 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
