Pain, Plain, and Sustain

We often like to find out things that we know will upset us. We always want the truth, even if we know it will hurt us.

You put on a strong face and you look at me as if you are ok. You tell me everything is alright, and that you've forgotten about him. You want to shed some tears, but you are afraid you can't stop. You try to smile it off, but sometimes you just don't have the energy.

I can see you are hurt. I can see you're drained. I can see you want to start over. I can see you want a second chance. But what can I really do for you?

I just can't see you like this. It actually hurts a lot for me too. But how can I avoid you? How? I will never be able to avoid this situation.

I wish you can just cry your tears out. I wish you can cry your pain away. I wish you can cry the situation away. I wish you can change the situation by crying. If only it was that easy...

You ask me if you'll ever be happy again. If you'll be able to truly smile again.

You're barely surviving. And that breaks my heart.
