I look at you

and I see it in your face

you think you hide it,

but I see you

I see the hurt

the dark circles beneath your eyes

and the quiet plea

dancing on your bottom lip

too afraid to be voiced

top afraid to be heard

because you're too afraid

to be hurt

and I just want to take you and

wrap you up in my arms

hold you, console you

tell you things that you'll believe

but you don't seem to believe

anything anymore

so I'll just look at you

and see the pain in your fake smile

and I'll smile back

and I'll hear the attempted deception

when you tell me that you're just tired

and I'll say me too

I know you're broken inside

I can see it in your face

violets are blue

and so are you
