I'm Here, but They've Left

Your tears flow, yes I’m aware they do
And you scream out in pain
I want the best for you, but let me
You carry on, while I have to act like nothing’s wrong
Maybe you just need some time to breathe

Your loss is one many face, but you’ll never get over
I share your sadness, but don’t know what to say
Just wait, and good will come
You’ll get through this
You won’t come undone

The symbol shows up, and tears fill your eyes
I suck in a breath, knowing you’re losing yourself
“Shhh,” I coo, it’ll all be fine
Just remember who’s there for you
And remember, they’ll be the one

Everyone has problems
All need to cry
Sometimes it takes a while, and you feel like you’re going to die
But you need to take a second, remember what you love
Live for that passion, and never let it leave

All have to take a moment, not someone else’s
Their hurt is realized, but everyone faces their own
While I’m here for everyone else
They’ve disappeared
I look into the darkened room and cry
