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
