The pain


I do not know how to reach out to you!
You built a wall around yourself to keep away the pain, sorrow,failure and all the naysayers.
I see you struggle, fight a million battles within.
The pain is evident, the fear is written across your face.
Yet, I don't hear you cry or call out for help.
Could it be that the wall as become your prison.
A prison with no windows or doors.
Your cries for help are stifled.
The banging on the door is muffled.
Tell me my friend, how can I help?

You faltered, you lied, you hurt those who loved you.
Harsh bitter words were hurled at you.
Now it is your pain to bear.
But my friend, only if you let me in, I am willing to share.

You hurt her most, the one who will care for you till her end.
Your words pricked her like a million arrows, your actions crushed her heart into million pieces.
Yet, she bears it all and still cares; hoping, one day your pain you will share.
Hope is all we have. You and us...together we are in it. For this too shall pass.
