we: the observers
you: the victims
we can never know the pain
we will try
to understand
to give you love
and support
but that does nothing
you are trapped
trapped behind a glass door of suffering
we look on
but we
cannot
know
the pain

we: the observers
you: the victims
we can never know the pain
we will try
to understand
to give you love
and support
but that does nothing
you are trapped
trapped behind a glass door of suffering
we look on
but we
cannot
know
the pain
let your cuts heal, we will take care of the knife
there's been so much tragedy this year, and last year, and the year before that. This is just my take on it from the outside.
