You never asked but I struggled to make it through the day.

No call or no text, no ‘are you ok?’

You never asked but, no I’m not doing alright,

I lay awake thinking all through the night.

You never asked but no, I’m not sleeping well,

Constant thoughts churning, I’m living in hell.

You never asked me because you don’t care any more,

You made your feelings clear when you walked out the door.

You never asked but one day I will be ok,

One day I won’t think of you, I’ll just get on with my day.

You never asked but yes, I will be alright, I’m stronger than I look and I’m prepared for the fight.
