Could Not Understand

I could hear the pain in your voice
The sorrow in your eyes
It was too much for me to look at
As you were telling me everything
I feared was true
I could not understand
Because to me,
You had everything going for you
You were pretty, smart, and a great person
But the way you looked at me
I knew you did not think the same
I could not understand
What could make you hurt so bad
And hate yourself the way you do
I felt so helpless
And I knew it was not a lie
Because when you showed me
Another scar
Tried to explain
Holding back tears
I knew it was the truth
