Darius
You think I don’t see what you do?
I count every lie you let slip at dinner.
I watch who you look at when you think no one’s watching.
I memorized your excuses so I could cut them off mid-sentence.
Your phone became the thing I check first.
Your “I’m busy” became the wall I hit.
I don’t sleep. I wait.
I know the pattern of your steps before you reach the door.
You say “stop being paranoid”.
I say “stop giving me reasons to be”.
I built my life around catching you.
Not to save us. Just to be right.
Just to win the game you started.
Tell me, Darius,
when I finally corner the truth,
will you still pretend I’m the crazy one?
