When I Finally Told You (possible trigger warning)
When I finally told you,
Your eyes teared up,
I thought I heard your heart crack,
When I finally told you,
I pulled up my sleeves
And showed you my cuts,
And I could already see
In your mind what you were thinking:
Why?
When I finally told you,
I remember your expression,
Your face fell,
You stared in horror,
I couldn’t meet your eyes,
Afraid of what I would find there,
When I finally told you,
You gathered me tight in your arms
And whispered with a crack in your voice
Of how much you loved me
And how much you cared,
And how you didn’t want
Me to keep harming myself,
When I finally told you,
You hugged me so tight,
You told me how strong I was
And told me to never give up on my fight,
And told me to keep fighting to remain in the light,
When I finally told you,
I felt the sun reach down,
And send me a sunbeam of love through the clouds.
