Embarrassment
Why have I remained silent
hiding what happened between us
when I have no wrong doing
upon my conscious
Is it out of embarrassment
for knowing the truth in my core
yet ignoring the signs,
for being fooled
by your facade,
tricked
by your cruelty,
your manipulation
My discomfort is rooted
in admitting I was tricked,
dedicated to a person
who was not who I believed them to be
Our time has passed
and I continue to struggle
to vocalize the truth
yet I was me
and you were the one
who was not you
