Ma. Izza Ledesma Puey Poetry

All I did was to kid around
Make fun of his every word
My seriousness was nowhere to be found
I was merely acting absurd

Whenever he would stare
I would make a funny face
Whenever he would show his care
I would just drift off to space

I never stopped blabbing
Even when he gave his clue
I continued to be my childish self
So he never knew, he never knew

He never knew how much it hurt
For me to keep it all inside
If only he looked deeper within
He’d see the struggle I tried to hide

Now that it’s goodbye
I pretend that I’m okay
He’ll never see the tears I cry
Whenever he comes my way

I can’t say we had something
Cause I just hid the truth
So I’ll always be left hanging
For he never knew, he never knew…
