When I was silent
I was protecting you.
From the demons
that haunt you
From the trauma you suffered
From the monsters
under the bed.
I
distanced myself from you
To keep you safe
Safe from the
harmful words
Safe from the emotional roller coaster ride
Safe
from seeing my emotional breakdown
Safe from the unbearable pain
in my eyes
Safe from the demons inside of me
But
was I protecting you?
Or showing you not to reach out.
Reach
out for help
Reach for comfort
Reach out for love
Reach out
for healing arms around you
Reach out to the ones you love
I
thought I was protecting you from the harsh reality of this
world.
But I was teaching you to suffer alone.
Alone with your
thoughts
Alone with your anger
Alone with your demons
Alone
..just Alone
Protecting
you cost me my own emotional healing
Protecting you cost me the
moments we should of grieved together
Protecting you cost me you.
