Exhausted, Can't You See?

I didn’t say anything that night.

I didn’t bother to express how I felt, 

When it was clear you only cared about yourself. 

When everything I said only went in vain, back to you, 

So don’t be mad. 

Don’t act surprised when you see me sad

And the next time you ask why I’m silent,

I’ll just keep a smile, acting so vibrant.

Sometimes we find ourselves in the presence of someone we truly care for, but sometimes that presence diminishes.
