I am Stronger

Just because I have not cried

In front of you

Doesn’t mean that the tears

Have not come

I wanted to cry the night

That you refused to tell me

That you loved me

It seemed to take a piece of my soul

Given to you with all my strength

For you to say it

Even though I had to ask

For you to tell me

I should not have to ask

If you did love me

You would tell me

Even though you were the first one

Who said those words

I wasn’t expecting you to

But you didn’t mean to

Just out of habit

A magician’s rabbit

Out of the hat they appear

When you think it was what I wanted to hear

I only wanted to hear it

If you meant it

I said it because I meant it

But you didn’t say it

Because you didn’t mean it

And if I could fight the tears

When it hurt that much

Then I am stronger

Than I thought I was
