you said that things were getting hard

and I couldn’t think of what to say
 to let you know what I was thinking

with the admittance of your struggle

it felt as though my heart had been ripped from my chest
and all the air had disappeared from my lungs
I wanted to fix you

to make you feel whole
 again
because that’s what you deserve
but I didn’t know how to tell you this

so I smiled sadly

as I usually do

and promised things would get better

so hopefully

you might be able to tell that all I want

is for you to be happy
