How can you say you love me one day,

Then turn cold the next?

I thought your words would weaken me,

But something changed instead.

Every lie, every accusation,

Every cruel thing that you said

Lit a fire beneath the silence

Where my anger used to hide.

I found strength inside the anger,

Found the voice I pushed aside.

You may have thought I'd fall apart,

That I'd crumble when you left

But anger has a funny way

Of reminding me what's left.

So don't mistake my silence

For a woman you destroyed.

I'm finding pieces of myself

I buried beneath your noise.

You don't get to see the damage.

You don't get to watch me fall.

You can walk away believing

You never hurt me at all.

I'll keep the truth behind me,

And let you think I'm fine.

Because what I do with all this pain

Is mine.

Not yours.

Mine.
