I told you this would happen
But still I went ahead
I’ve told you far too much
Too many things were said
Now things have become
The way I always feared
A weird awkward mess
A friendship that’s been steered
I have begun to notice
We’ve hardly got a word to say
And I don’t know what to do
But there has to be a way
This might cause a fight,
And will probably sound bad
I’ll say it none the less
Just please don’t get too mad
I’m not sure I can open up
I simply want to forget
See talking brings it up again
Then I just get upset
I wasn’t always like that
I never used to cry
I stopped for months on end
I don’t now how or why
It was almost as if,
Things bothered me less
I mean I still did other things
To get rid of my own stress
But tears didn’t fall
And I kinda liked it that way
It made sort of feel
Some strength at the end of the day
What I’ve been trying to express
The whole length of this piece
Is… I don’t think I can tell you things
For they never seem to cease
The only way I can get by
Is to avoid all of it
As it only causes confusion
I just want to forget the shit
I am so grateful knowing
You’ve been there countless times
But I don’t know how much longer
I can let you hear my cries….
And thought I seem to give
You the illusion I’m ok
The reality of it is
I will never be that way
So now is the time,
That I will let you know
That I won’t burden you
I’d rather let you grow
For I know I’m holding you back
Which just isn’t fair at all
You’ve only tried to care
And be there when I fall

It is fine...got a bit long saying the same thing, but it felt like raw truth and somewthing you needed to say...many times in life things and actions can not be explained, they just are and that does not always seem fair...
thank you for sharing!
