you held my hand
and just looked at me
and i could see
all the things you wanted to say
running across your mind
like
"i love you,
you're like a sister to me
please don't hurt yourself.
i need you.
you're worth more than this"
but you didn't say anything
you didn't have to

i squeezed your hand tight
and lay back and smiled
please remember,
it is not your fault.
