not everything i say has to make sense or have a name for that matter
i judged myself too harshly
by you
you never said a word
i know
i said enough to fill
your silences
didn’t know you had not
said anything
did you?
not to worry
no big deal
it wasn’t your fault
honestly
it’s not you
it’s me
good thing you
don’t know who
you are
else you would
read this
and think me
dangerous
