Didn’t Need To Know

Your whispers in silence , exploding ticking bombs

Truth drips from your mouth like venom sweaty palms

I was fine in the dark, I was strong in my gaze

The words struck a match that set fire to my days

Calling it honesty! , I call it a curse

You peeled back the layers and made it worse

I didn’t need to know

Didn’t expect the show

Curtains drawn to watch me implode

I didn’t need the truth

Didn’t need your proof

Your confession makes a wrecking move

I see the lines in every smile you wore

Your halo’s dulled, staring across the floor

You said “I thought you’d want it,” like some kind of gift

Rage received by a soul you split

Engraved your guilt into my spine

Left bleeding between your moral line

I was whole before your need to speak

Screaming through a voice too weak!

I didn’t need to know

Didn’t expect the show

Curtains drawn to watch me implode

I didn’t need the truth

Didn’t need your proof

Your confession makes a wrecking move

I didn’t need to know

But now I’ll never let it go
