I hold them in as she stands there awkwardly
waiting for me to say something
but I just sit, looking at my lap
holding the tears in
She says I love you
I say nothing
I watch her leave and shut the door
I stop tensing up and let the water flow
streaming down my cheeks
I've gotten good at silencing the whimpers
& holding back the ocean
I don't let my mom see me cry......
