Don't hurt yourself more than others have
I know their words wound you more than a knife's edge
You don't need a mask to hide from me
It is transparent
I can see right through it
I wore that mask till it crumbled when I cried
You don't need to encase yourself for me
Take it off
Even if it is only for a moment
I won't tell anyone how fragile your heart is
So please just go ahead and cry
You don't have to keep it all inside
I know your life is nothing but pain
You don't need to even say anything
I sob next to you
What can I say when I don't know if you will heal
Scars can only be made with injury
Whether it be to the heart or the skin
I know that you can't tell the difference anymore
So just let me stay
And cry with you just a little longer
I will pray for nothing more than peace
Just to ease the pain
I don't want to see you hurt yourself with senseless ideas
A boyfriend won't change your heart
It won't fill the void
I hate that I have to tell you this
It isn't fair that I am the only one to tell you
I can feel our friendship drifting apart
It's your life as always
But would you at least tell me
If you aren't okay
