You Admitted
I knew you gave up.
Long before you said it.
But hearing you admit it
still stayed with me.
Your words replay.
I think about the conversation
more than I want to.
You were almost blaming me
for the past.
I don’t think you meant to.
I think you wanted
to be understood.
It hurt more
than I expected.
You told me things.
Now I don’t know
what to believe.
My mum said
there was a restraining order.
You said there wasn’t.
My brother said
you put your hands on his neck.
You said you only
grabbed his shirt.
I’m not angry.
I’m not sure I feel anything.
I'm just here.
I think it hasn’t
reached me yet.
