His pain is what keeps you up at night
His pain is what drives you to be better than the rest
Better than the rest that’s hurt him so much

His pain is shown all over him
You can hear it in his voice
Feel it in his actions
See it in his face
His Pain

His pain is your pain in a way
You don’t want him to carry that pain all on his own
You try to help him, yet you feel him pushing you away
He’s going deeper into his own guilt and sorrow that you don’t know what to do
All you can do is listen to him, talk it out with him, love him

His pain won’t always be there but when it does come back
You’ll be ready, with a sword and shield
You’ll stand there strong and ready for whatever his pain throws at you
You’ll be right by his side to help him get through His Pain

still
i sat and watched him
try
to lift the heavy pieces of me
then try to break them up into smaller portions
but he couldn't
so i offered him my strength
as he does, he rejected it and swapped me with

"it's fine, i can handle it"

rubbing the tolerance onto his hands

"it's fine, i can handle you"
his pain? he thought he knew masculinity

— The End —
