Silent pain weaving poison tendrils around your heart.
Your lips utter words, answer questions with well intentioned lies.
I feel it in your words, as if the pain choked you,
blocking out the fresh air of comfort.
Selfless, you seal your lips, careful not to burden.
Too Careful. I feel it, too silent; I watch the hurt tear you apart.
Across the wide expanse I reach for you, 
open up to the silence let the burden be shared. 
Lift your eyes loved, I am there..
