You built yourself a wall
But you built it out of glass
It's shatter proof
So I can't break them down
And neither do you
But I see what you're going through
And it kills me
Every single day
To read you so well
That I know something is wrong
To know that you're dying
But you won't let anyone in
It's torture
To watch you cripple
I shout and scream
But how can you hear me
When you won't let anyone in
I get that feelings are hard
And so is trust
But I can't watch you suffer
So when no one is looking
And I'm by myself
I cry
Thinking about how I can't save you
But I want to
Feeling nothing but concern for what could happen
And making myself so sick
That I might throw up
But even I have to tell myself
You'll be alright
That everything is alright
Because people are looking out for you
They're outside of the glass too
But that doesn't stop love from breaking through
That's just what friends do
So you dust yourself off
And you stand up and smile
Taking only a very small part of the wall down
Only enough to allow a hug
But I smile
As you allow just that
But for now I remain on the outside of glass
One in while,
Getting let in for a short conversation
Followed by a hug
But please be safe
And please be careful
I'd hate to lose you to your demons
