No one noticed how your smile would fall every time you thought no one was looking, how your eyes sometimes drowned of life only to light up again two seconds later with sadness.
No one ever saw your head lower and your shoulders tense as soon as someone touched you, how your whole expression screamed in silent words 'I'm scared' when you didn't know what was happening.
No one ever noticed but me.
And it was only because I knew. Because no one else had ever heard you scream, no one else had ever heard the sobs that shook your frame when the night came crawling.
No one ever knew, and it was only because you were too much a coward to let anyone in.
It was your own fault, and I hate you for it.
