I Didn't Know

You always smiled and loved life

I didn't know you were faking

You spoke to me kindly with words that I scoffed at

I didn't know you had no one be kind to you

You always made time for me

I didn't know you struggled to do your job

You brushed my insults off as if they didn't hurt you

I didn't know that they did

You hid your arms in long sleeves

I didn't know why

You look so wrong in a casket

I didn't know how much I loved you
