Looking at you was worse than any time before
The expression on your familiar face stung more than the sharp blow delivered just a second before
And all I wanted was to be wrapped in your arms and let it all out
But that unforgiving smile was worse than anything before
So we both screamed and yelled instead

I always knew that you were never really listening to me
But now I know that you honestly just don’t understand
Because there you stood in the doorway when tears were running down my face
And the pain of your hand against my cheek was still burning through my skin
With that horrid smile on your lips and cold blue eyes
As you said “Is it that boy again?”
Knowing that he had a name
Knowing that he was everything to me
But still just acting like I was a toddler crying for a favorite toy

So after all the times I’ve opened up to you
And tried to make you understand
And after all the times you saw me cry because of how you ignore my pain
Now I understand that you will never be there for me
Like you should be now
