Expiration Date

This silent pain
that I’m not allowed to share,
crushes my chest
Being a secret was fun,
when it had an expiration date
Your lies are the reality
that I’m left with now
Like, how you never loved her,
yet, my heart
is where your anger landed
the night you almost got caught
A lie you told
to keep me in your web,
I’m sure
I realized then,
that I was the mistake.
The stupidity I feel
almost outweighs the pain in my heart
but your coldness shattered me
and this pain is unbearable
I guess I got my expiration date
I’m not your secret anymore
Your lies still linger
The pain still dwells
but thank God,
for that expiration date
