It Was Over Too Soon

Pretending to be innocent-

Can be so sinister. 

So that I am in the aftermath-

Before realizing that I have already been through trauma. 

So that it’s too late to cry. 

Or people will think I am faking. 

I had promised for so long that I was fine. 

So why should anyone feel guilty now?’

When actually…

When actually.
