Tired eyes Are you okay Forced smile I'm fine Are you sure Fake laugh Yeah No you're not Fading facade How do you know I've been there That same look The tired eyes Forced smile Fake laugh I wore it so well For so long I can recognize it In an instant So tell me what's wrong Perhaps I can help Or if you don't want to tell me I'll just stay by your side Till your eyes are energized Your smile, no longer forced And your laugh is real Then and only then Must I leave To find another who needs me Though I won't truly be gone As you can always call On me when you need A shoulder to cry on Or a friend to talk to Just know I'll always Be there for you Because I don't want You to drown I don't want you to become What they let me become
I wrote this while ago and it's been saved as a draft here for a while so I thought it was time to make this one public as well
