Darkest Days

Witnessed

I don't care who it's not fair for,
Right when it's not fair to me,
To sit right here and watch while
Everyone else pretends I can breathe.

So no, I don't feel sorry for you
Or anyone else for that matter,
Because you all stood by and watched
While you knew I was here shattered.

Just because a smile on my face
Might pass as a happy skit,
You can't have forgotten when
You saw the tears fall over it.

I lie here awake at night
And remember when you said so,
That it is not fair to us when
You eventually become a no-show.

But what you might not realize
Is that my foot is off the edge,
And when I finally drop,
You'll never get a second chance.

A chance to say sorry and
Ask for all of your forgiveness,
It'll be too late for you when you know
That I was already witnessed.
