asleep

i waited till you fell asleep
till your breathing became steady
then i began to talk
only then was i ready
i told you of my day
i told you of my pain
while my breathing worsened
and my tears felt like rain
i told you of my troubles
i told you of my fears
i told you why im hiding
as i wiped away my tears
i told you why i panic
why i sat outside
i told you where i ran to
i told you why i cried
i told you i was scared
i told you i ran away
i kissed you on the cheek and thanked you
for hearing what i had to say
