-Somehow-
“It will be okay.” you said.
“I doubt that, somehow.” I replied,
But I knew you wanted to help,
I understood how hard you tried.
“It’s falling apart.
Crumbling sights I can’t overlook.”
I said and looked in your eyes
You looked back and your heart shook.
I looked away and sighed
I realized it was no good
That you don’t see through my eyes
Even though try you would.
It was despair!
My eyes stung with tears.
But I couldn’t cry yet,
Not with your pure heart so near.
So I lied
Or maybe it was hope
I told you I’ll be fine
That you don’t need to worry anymore.
You smiled a little
I knew I had to try
There is still good in this world
For which I could stand up and fight.
“I’m still brokenhearted,
I’m still in despair,
But I have a little faith,
Enough to tell you that I care.”

It is hard for people to truly understand you, but it matters how hard they try.
