When a person is really hurting,
do you keep them on hold
Turning the comfort of warmth,
into a dull and painful cold
Do you hold back from the words
that you know can heal
Knowing it brings them closer to
that inability to really feel
What if they're tired of being strong,
tired of being a crutch
You just don't even get that they need you,
or how much
So you push aside their need, ignoring
their flowing tears
Leaving them alone, empty and facing
up to their fears
To love a person too much, I wonder
is it even possible?
A heart devoid of love for you may be
their only survival
