A Heart Like Yours

Hide the scars

Hide the lies

That you drew on your arms

When you couldn’t cry

Hide the knife

Hide the gun

That you took a chance on

But never won

Hide the sadness

Hide the anger

That pressed against your skull

And snarled like a tiger

No one ever noticed

No one will ever care

If the secret stayed a secret

No one will ever see you bare

Hide the misery

Hide the fear

That pulled at your brain

And created the final tear

You will always be missed

So don’t pull the trigger

Don’t send the bullet, your brain to kiss

Just continue to linger

And don’t you dare die

Because I won’t stop caring

And my heart will always break

For the mind that kept tearing

At the heart of yours which was so fragile

So meek

It made my heart tremble

While yours was still so weak.

A heart like yours

Can’t be repaired

And a heart like yours

Always cared

About the girl in the back of the room

While you were still the outcast

You always helped them

But you still wore the mask

“I’m fine.”

You told us not to worry

But we should have

And now everyone is sorry.
