I see sadness in your eyes

 

I see hurt caught

in the lies of your smile.

Lines that point up,

but are feeling dragged down.

I've felt the weariness

from too many miles.

When the world feels corrupt,

and you feel you’re starting to drown.

I've worn your frown,

To get a sense of the intense pain,

so that I can understand

what you are feeling,

and I've worn my own frown

from my own pain,

knowing that through it all

we can all rise up again.

 

I see sadness in your eyes,

it betrays the mask

you wear trying to hide

the tears that you've cried,

but they shine

like neon lines

down your cheeks.

I've felt the hurt release

It's vice-like grip

when you've had

a chance to speak

and let your words slip.

 

And when those words reach the air

electricity rips, a storm raises neck hairs

and energy flips. Now the power is within.

The words you spray

make the world spin

the right way,

for just a few moments

of this dreary day.

 

I don't claim

to know your pain.

Everyone’s rain

hits a unique way,

but I offer a hand

is what I say.

My smile sometimes

fades too, and in truth

I sometimes feel

I'm drowning under the swell,

but I'll hold the umbrella for you

until I walk the fires of hell.
