You are so brave to be so strong,
but inside you aren't any stronger.
You hurt just like the rest of us.
You may not voice your hurt,
but your skin is your canvas.
There you will show it,
There you will tell us all.
The true meaning of fear,
the true meaning of hurt.
The images left behind will live,
They will live fresh in your mind.
You can not scrub it away,
you can not wipe away the sounds.
For in your head,
They will always be.
With my words I wish to cast a shadow on them.
I wish to soften the memories.
Although it may be a short time,
though it may only be a line.
Your friend is what I will be.
Friends can live apart,
friends can share their heart.
Lovers can't do all that,
Lovers can't speak freely.
But friends will always..
By
Me
