On the Other Side

I realize

He thinks his thoughts are useless.

He thinks,

He has no light left.

I stay,

Because I see it.

I see the brightness he can not see.

I see the smile he tries so hard to hide.

His red stained hands do not frighten me,

Or deceive me.

Instead,

They taunt me,

To wipe them clean,

But I must be careful,

Because if I rub a hidden scrape,

Just slightly to hard,

He'll turn his back from me,

And rebuild his wall of pain,

And I will be stuck,

On the other side,

With a broken heart of my own.
