Upset

My parents think I cried because of you

They think I was angry at you

When I saw you at the event

They think I broke down tonight

Because I was upset about you

This isn’t about you

It’s about them thinking it was about you

Was I supposed to be happy and smiling

Seeing you

And remembering a little girl who died?

They wonder why I haven’t told them everything

Or anything really

It’s because they’d tell everyone else

They don’t trust me

So why should I trust them?

They don’t know what happened

Between you and I

And I don’t ever want them to

All they think is that we have

“a strange relationship”

I’d hardly call it a relationship

Because I don’t really want to have

Anything

To do

With you
