Don't run away

When you stare at the ceiling at night,

with tears rolling from your eyes.

Don't wonder why it's harder to hold back tears,

than it is

to fake smiles.

Don't remember the pain,

Just for a while.


Sometimes you think

that the only way to prove your strong

is to put on a smile

and run away.


Until you remember

you're a worthless shadow of the person

you were.


Forget,

please,

today.

Don't run away.

You're not lost in battle,

You're not fighting alone.

I'm here beside you,

ready to help you,

love you,

for you.
