Shout

I heard your voice,

I felt your touch.

A tender fingertip,

resting on me.

It’s like you waited,

to see how I’d react.

It’s like you stayed quiet,

because you knew I’d never fight back.

I saw your smile,

right through your teeth.

I watched you wipe it away,

when you thought I wasn’t looking.

It’s like you thought,

that I’d never see through.

It’s like you believed,

I’d never find the truth.

I noticed your turning back,

as you hid yourself away.

To keep me left behind,

where I’d never break free.

It’s like you left me all alone,

because you thought I’d never figure out.

It’s like you only thought I’d whisper,

but I knew I had to shout.

None of the photos used belong to me
