The Darkness Within

Now and Then

And now I've realized

I've taken advantage of you.

The smile I love

I force it upon you

'Why aren't you happy?'

You're entitled to sadness.

Now and then

I need a friend

To help me

Guide me to the light

Help me win this fight

Now and then

I think again

You're allowed to cry.

No you aren't weak

No you're just fine

Even when you cry.

You're still beautiful

You're still wonderful

But you'll never be mine.
