When I See Your Pain

You used to be so strong,

sturdy as rock,

so content with yourself,

exuberayting with joy.

I used to want to be like you,

you know?

But then you moved away

and now you are oblivious

to others and their feelings.

And there’s this boy you like

but you won’t admit.

Because he hurts you,

and you let him.

And it bothers me

because it’s so easy

for you to neglect your family,

and chase 

that boy.

But even more,

you call me some nights

and you cry about it

and I’m tired of being the older one.

And you don’t know what’s good for you 

anymore.

You make mistakes

so easily,

knowing that they’ll be mistakes.

And you let him walk all over you,

he’s fitted you with a collar,

and you're chasing a bone.

And every time he does you wrong,

you say things will change,

but then you wind up back there again.

And I find it odd because

he says

you’re just friends.

And you say you’re just friends,

but I can tell 

you’d do most anything for him.

And you are so different,

you aren’t even strong,

you are crumbling.

And now,

I’m afraid of becoming like you.

I love the way you so honestly put your words to paper. You just seem to so easily reach down deep inside of yourselr and so vividly pull put the fabric and fiber of your thoughts and feelings
