I see beyond your past and flaws
but I see the crevice in your smile
I see beyond your voice and eyes
but I see the deceit in them
I see a broken and hurt human being
struggling to secure the mask
I see you as an individual, with horrors
unimaginable to task
I know the place you run to
I know where you like to hide
I know you are teetering on the edge
For I see you by my side.
