He Asked

He asked if you hurt me
I smiled and bowed my head with glee
Silently amazed that he would ask me this
My body responded with utter bliss
I told him that I once knew pain
That it once felt like I was going insane
I told him that you broke my heart
That I couldn't stand the two of us being apart

But I never told him
Or as much as showed him
That I would bleed my body dry for you
That there was nothing I wouldn't do for you
I didn't tell him that you put a dent in my soul
That to this day my heart bears a hole
I didn't tell him how missing you made me physically ill
Or, how much I longed for you still

I didn't tell him
'Cause he never asked
