bleed perfection
while the rest of us
would **** for a scratch

You tell me it’s nothing,
But I see your pain,
I hear your cry,
Lost in the rain.

You say you’re alright,
Assure me you’re fine,
But I see the tears,
Lost in your eyes.

You tell me you’re good,
But I sense your fear.
You would get nervous,
Whenever I’m near.

So tell me the deal,
Speak of what hurts,
Expose what you feel,
Show me its worth.

Your smile is beautiful,
Forever always.
But does it still glow,
At the end of the day,

When you go to sleep,
Tuck in your sheets,
Hoping no one sees,
The tears that you weep?

Do the clothes you wear,
Resemble your fear?
Seems no one cares
Of things you hold dear.

You look alright,
Almost too happy,
But you lost your sight,
Joy never having.

I know your heart,
See it right through you.
It’s tearing apart,
I always knew.

When life gets hard,
And you’re left to die,
I’ll hold your scars,
To be right by your side.
