Speed Bumps

My thumb nail digs into the back of my hand

Pushing back the tears you fail to contain

I feel your heart breaking stronger than my own

Your sobbing aura bleeds into mine

Leaving me with a smiling face and breaking heart

I want you to smile and I'll sacrifice

the rare happiness I feel for you

I give you my joy and you give me your pain

You don't know your hurting me, if you did

You'd beg me to stop

Eventually you smile, and I do too

My thumbnail finds a new spot and presses deep

When you leave I'll let my heart break

But right now I'll take speed bumps on my hand

Over a red light in your heart
