Darling, why don't you cry?

Your eyes are sparkling,
And your heart breaking.

But
You smile sweetly,
Though you're dying slowly.
You appear to be strong,
Though it will not be long
Before we see things go absolutely wrong.

Why Darling, why don't you cry?

Your life is empty, messed up,
Like a measuring cup,
Never filled up.

But
You put on a brave face,
Though you're always in fear's embrace.
You seem to love life,
Though you're always looking at the knife.

Why Darling, why don't you cry?

Your life is wrong,
And you don't deserve it.

Crying helps, cuz in that moment
When the tears fall,
I promise,
I'll be there to catch them,
And let them take the pain away
From that tiny shell of yours.
Let them run, I will,
And make sure they don't come back,
I will too.

This is not permanent.
Nothing is,
But some things heal you
Better than others do.
Maybe if you let it out,
You won't have to pretend.

Everyone is weak.
Everyone is vulnerable.
Everyone is able to heal.
So will you show me who you are?
Give me your soul?
And let me help you heal yourself?
