say nothing

you ask me why i said nothing
i said nothing because you loved my best friend
and it was never my place to say
lest I feel the wrath from the woman you loved
i also said nothing because i was trying to get over the thought of you and her
it scalded me, that thought
i said nothing because i was a girl of naivety
but now i am a woman, a woman who must atone for the sins of those years
this time, i will not say nothing
i will say everything
