Poetry Puddles

Why?

I hid myself from you
Knowing what you would do.
I told you I was fine
Though it didn't quite align
With what I felt inside.

I tore myself apart
looking for the start
Of what made me how I am

But you had interfered
And did just what I'd feared.
You didn't understand, didn't even try
I wanted to explain, but you never asked me why.

I got fed up with you
When you still sang a happy tune.
I saw resentment in your eyes
but you said that was lies.

I still hide myself from you
Because now I'm sure of what you'll do.
I'll still tell you that I'm fine
Even if it still doesn't align
With how I feel inside.

I piece myself together
Racing towards the end of never
When you'll accept me as I am.

Don't compare me with another
And don't turn this on my lover.
Because you'll never understand, you'll never even try
And I won't get to explain because you'll never ask me why.
