i have a confession:
a hundred people have told me
their dark secrets
a hundred people have confessed
their fears
their sorrows
their pasts
and while i'm honored you trust me
people i don't like
and people i don't know
have done the same - that's just how i am
so this? right here?
it doesn't mean we're close
it just means that i
have been the same i always have been
if it's any consolation
i think you mean it
when you say "i trust you"
i think it hurt you
i think it meant something
that's why i let you see me cry
but only a little
the real sobs
the real stress and fear and anxiety
your words made me feel
you don't get to see those
because as much as i believe this meant
something
i think you're just like everyone else -
wanting someone
who's easy to trust
who you know will never
say a word
and laid all your secrets down on my heart
like some confessional
like i exist to listen to
the pain and suffering that you deal with
like i'm a convenient person
like i'm nothing
but a wall
with a face that looks sympathetic
that you'll forget about in a few days
because i won't say a thing
and now you're done with me
aren't you?
