How long

I wish you had of told everyone
that night so long ago—
I thought it would be better this way
you pretended, I pretended everything was fine
now I see how wrong I was
this thing you’ve had over my head
a life sentence, muted
every day another day that I wonder
will this be the day
will you feel the need to talk
tell him what you know
change my life forever
everyday—the same thoughts
and then I wish
I had the courage to change things
stand up
man up
rise up
to you
how long can I wait
before you burst this bubble
that is my life
