Emotional Disconnct

Your eyes glistened through my chest I felt your pain without you ever sayin a word movin from your fingertips to your breast.

That same pain that I suffered at 17 that same pain that makes your eyes look like snow meetin sun on a hot summer day

at an all time high goin on a gigantic pace.

Your energy seemed down and in need of hel

I knew that your smile was coverin your true self.

I figured I would ask you nonchalant questions because I didn't want to get in your mess and

have you make loud unwanted vibrations hit the tip of my eardrums and cause complications that would just lead to some

arguments

but maybe those arguments would bring out your true emotions

the same ones that your eyelids recycle once they hit that lotion

put to your skin thats coverin up what you hold inside the troubles that have came in and you just put aside

 

The happiness you felt and now the true joy of your innocence has died

you response to my questions gave insight

to explicit details

and it sounded like

stories that I couldn't retell. You mentioned how you stumbled then fell

and how you wanted to do some things but they failed.

 

You cried for help but you hear no answers

so you say to the one above why couldn't I get the cancer

and after talkin we both go about are ways as if it lasted less than a fifth of the day

but I remember your story because you showed me a side I never seen before

one that enlightened the true understanding of the value of your core.

 

So I say Au tu sai for your familay in hopes that you persevered through that bullshay and continue to put forth your best jewels in today.

I seen a diamond amongst a bubbly waterfall one that I knew would shine bright in the midst of the fog.
