#2 of The Struggle

Yet another short added to those who know one who's given up or close to the extreme.

We all deserve on thing in life to hold up to, and that one person who will always listen.


The disparity of kin ever growing

Growing distant and lost

Unheard, loathing in solitude

Remember a time peace

A time when waking from rest seemed blissful

You smiled wider than your heart

Wider than their animosity

A heart of painted glass

We leaned on you

A facade we could not fathom

You were happy

With a heart of glass

We never saw the cracks

Through red laced arms

Nights became filled with pain

With mornings repetitions going unanswered

You can be happy

With a heart of glass

You could be happy

We threw away shards

Only seeing what we wanted

You looked so happy to us
