When did you know you were done?
And why didn’t you tell me then?
Was it while I carved our initials in trees?
You waited until I carved it in my skin.
While I dreamt of you as I slept
And spoke your name into the wind,
You left my presence behind closed doors
While your thoughts danced around with sin.
While I took notes of things you loved,
Did you see me only as a friend?
When did your lullabies for me grow empty?
When did you lose your affection?
When my mind begins to wander,
I’m betrayed by all that could have been.
Would I still bet my trust on us
Knowing, in the end, we’d never win?
brittany given.
