It's Been Awhile
by Jessica Ashmore

Someone once told me,
"You hardly smile."
I replied back gently,
"I do, it's just been awhile."

It's hard to say
that it was you that held me back from all of my fears.
Now, you are the one
who is blamed for all these tears.

You were the one
who held me tight
and when everything felt so wrong
you made it feel right.

Don't tell me that you are sorry,
because now I am numb to each word that you now say.
I loved you, did that not mean anything?
Only you can take this pain away.

Someone once told me,
"You hardly smile."
I replied back gently,
"I do, it's just been awhile."
