It Never Happened

You act like it never happened,
Like you never did anything wrong.
You act like you're the victim,
You act like you're the only
Person in the world that matters.

You act like that was never
Part of our lives,
Our story,
Our heartbreak.

You act like how I was treated by you--
So poorly,
So cruelly,
So torturously--
Never happened.

Maybe it's your way of healing,
Maybe your way of not feeling,
Or it's just your way of thinking.
Whatever it is,
It's devouring me whole.

You say we got over it,
That now we're okay
And can talk about our feelings...
But how do I know you won't hurt me again
Because last time I told you how I felt
You called me bad names
And walked away
And acted like it never happened.

Our friendship appears stable,
Maybe it is for you...
But not for me.

So if what you did to me
Never happened,
Never affected you
Or made you turn around to see me cry,
Just for a second,
I wonder why
You seem so nice
And funny
But I know the darker side of you.
I know how you can make someone hurt
And make someone who has already tried to die
Die all over again.

But,
To keep a reputation,
And to make you happy,
With all the darkness of my heart
And needles on my tongue,
I must tell everyone that

It
Never
Happened.
