Waiting

Sitting here so far away

Watching you smile and play

While I sit here drowning in my own pain

See me for who I am

Look past my fake smile and cheer

See the pain I held for years

This is what you caused

Do you even care?

You always turn away

Excuse after excuse

What happens when you run out

Will you take the blame

Or just turn a blind eye as you always have.
