Listen and See

Invisi tears fall as you smile and play along

It’s the crackle in your voice that gives it away

I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine you say

You are not, none of us are

Hurt and scared, close to giving up

Convinced there are no cares

They don’t understand; no one gets it- you start to say

You add never mind

Just forget it

Scary to both know ‘twill collect the best of us if we let it

Our nervous pause grows, waiting for the other to speak

I fixate to see the brown of your broken eyes like never before

Then the pained silence, the look away, your chin towards the floor

You form no none more words

Thus sadly there’s no one to hear your plea

Yet say I must, and please hear me please

This one loves you, here I am

Beside, right or left, here I’ll be

Your pain I feel, and plainly see.
