eyes are blank, staring through their surroundings, no hope, no faith, no idea where to turn, where to start, how to go on from one moment to the next, not sure if they even want to anymore.
when you understand it, you begin to see why the easy way out looks appealing. then, you remember you're worth more, worth fighting for, worth believing in, worth trying for.
and you just want someone else to believe the same thing, because you know it's still possible to get through it, but it's easier with a partner.
