Pain plunges to the ground on a stained floor
Flooded with memories
Can’t bare it anymore
Shut everything out, and yet you follow
Why did you come?
To see meaningless tears of sorrow
Hiding behind a mask of pretend
An everyday ritual
A difficult game that has to end
You ask me the matter
The first and only that will
My emotions now scatter
Still no judgement or question
Just the assurance that you care and
Your genuine affection
I let down my shield once and for all
There is no longer need for it
You pick me up and help me stand tall
There’s nothing to hide
We can now face our fears
Standing side by side
