(poem based off wildflower by billie eilish)

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf7xV37cCM

‘i didn't mean to hurt you’

you said with eyes that couldn’t lie,

yet your words cut, they pierced and stung,

but you always ended it with a sincere smile,

so i believed and carried on.

well things fall apart, and time breaks your heart

like wildflowers, those hurt moments soon passed.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakdiwRwApK

but i see you in the back of my mind, all the time,

a ghost of what you would do and say

like fevered flames, i was burning alive,

but those sweet moments we had,

they overtook the words

that came from your sharpened tongue.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8keDnZVQzS

i kept it all to myself, each tear,

each whispered fear.

so you wouldn’t know i knew

that i knew the truth behind your snake-ish words,

but i should i put it all behind me, shouldn’t i?

that’s what you would tell me,

but accepting the truth would’ve ended what’s left of me.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSJkkzuvn9

though you told me you meant no harm,

in silence, i carried the lie,

because speaking the truth would make what we had die.

so i was haunted each night with whispered dread,

of the wounds you left, the words you said:

‘i didn’t mean to hurt you’

those words lingered in the back of my mind, all the time

like a fever, like im burning alive

so i kept it to myself and tried to survive.

175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjpzzbPH8U

i know you didn’t mean to hurt me,

so I kept it to myself.

(until i didn’t)
