Aftermath

Aftermath

How could you not see
me drowning?

Why did you not hear
my cries for help?

How long did you think I could bear
the weight?
the pain?

Everyone has a breaking point

And now that I am broken
even you
who I held the sky up for
can only stand by in judgment.

Maybe it was not you
who could not see me
but I
who could not see you.
