Today I watched you bite your lip until it bled

I watched your eyebrows furrow and your eyes squint

In an attempt to stop salt-watered tears


Today I saw you cry

For the first time in front of your friends

I saw you bury your face in their shoulders


Today, you cried

And laughed to stop other people from crying


Today, you lied

And put a mask on your face of false cheerfulness


Although you're alright now,

It left rainclouds in my heart
