I See

I’ve watched you shatter,
I’ve seen you break,
I’ve watched you give,
But never take.
I’ve heard you laugh,
I’ve heard you cry,
I’ve heard you say,
You want to die.

I know your heart,
I’ve seen your tears,
I’ve listened to your deepest fears.
I know you hurt,
You have for years,
I know you think that no one hears.

The lies behind your ‘I’m okay’s,
Your lonely nights and lonely days,
The cracks that form in your façade,
When days and nights are just too hard.

You believe no one loves you,
They don’t understand,
But I’ll be there to lend a hand.
I won’t push too hard,
Or dismiss how you feel,
I’ll give you the time that you need to heal.
