What if your words hurt me?
What if I feel your pain?
What if I've always felt it?
What if every time you cried
I felt useless
Like the worst person in the world
Because I couldn't stop it?
What if I tortured myself?
What if it was all for you?
To lift your burdens
To give you sunlight
While I held my own
in a storm?
What if all this time...
I had my own pain?
What if it's been consuming me?
What if I wasn't as strong
As you think I am?
What if I'm falling apart?
What if this is the only way
To tell you
Just how much I'm hurting?
What if I can't keep it in anymore?
What if I can't handle your negativity
On top of my own?
What if I had my own stress?
What if I had my own tears?
What if I just want to cry?
What if I am being consumed
By my own darkness?
Will you just leave me,
Sit back, and assume
I'm strong enough
My problems aren't big enough
That I'll be fine?
What if you never understood me?
What if I've been pretending?
What if I hid my darkness for you?
What if I've needed you all along
But didn't feel important enough?
What if this is the truth?
What if?
Will you just leave me
In my darkness
All alone?
