All He Gave Me

When he said men didn’t talk
About their experiences
I didn’t understand what he meant

Here I was
Going through the toughest part of my life
Torn between two worlds
All hope lost within
All I wanted was for him to talk to me
Tell me how it really hurt
Though I was broken.

I wanted to listen
But he didn’t,
He kept asking about me
Brushing off all my questions
That was sweet but it hurt at the same time
It was sweet he cared about me
But it hurt he didn’t open up to me.

I’ve never actually understood this man
Yet my heart beats like it has known him for eternity
At times I do know he’s there, he cares
Other times it’s like he’s moving without me
That is what deepens the wound
Because all he gave me was silence
