Ode To A Friend

Stupid questions.

Stupid answers.

Many go unsaid.

Many go unnoticed.

Eyes tell of an untold secret.

One that’s embedded so deep.

It hurts to look upon you and know that I can help.

But you won’t let me.

You isolate your feelings with a fear of being hurt again.

My only thoughts are assumptions.

That’s all I have.

That’s all you’ll let me have.

How can you hold things in?

Why can’t you trust me?

I’d never hurt you.

I’d never even think of such a thing.

You’re harsh words to me hit hard, tossing me back.

Crushing me into the ground.

Then, you help me up with false hope of a better life.

Oh, fair sagacious love!

Why must you insist on pushing me away?!

It’s not fair to either of us… especially yourself.

Hiding behind the wall that you’ve built,

will only last so long.

Soon, it will crumble with burden.

Soon, you will break under the pressure.

Soon, you will go blind to the world.

Soon… you will fall.

So, please let me help you.

Let me break through that barrier.

I couldn’t bear to lose you.
