No one else noticed you were hurting

The only other person that cared you were crying

Left when you told them to

I’d gotten so used to seeing a smile across your face

I had no idea what to say to you

I was on the verge of tears myself

But I swallowed the heavy lump in my throat

I always care and maybe that’s my fatal flaw

I don’t want anyone else trying anything so stupid

And actually succeeding

You are my good days but what happens

When you have your bad days

The way your eyes light up is electrifying

Except when they dim it’s just so damn disturbing

Your mind is clearly being haunted by something

Please tell me what it is that’s been bothering you

Whatever it is, you’re not a burden to me

I swear

Crying doesn’t make you weak

To me, it means you’re human

It means you’ve got a heart and you feel

All kinds of crazy emotions

Talking to you is the strangest thing

One moment we’re both laughing then we’re

In each other's arms, holding each other steady

Except I’ve got other people for that

While all you’ve got is a therapist that you don’t believe in

You told me you weren’t always such a wreck

& you used to be happier

Your heart’s a tangled mess like every other part

Of yourself &

The butterflies inside your garden

Have all got broken wings now
