JadedTink's blog: "Feelings"

I asked her if she was ok

And she said "I’m fine I swear"

But when I looked into her eyes

I clearly saw her struggles there.

She quickly looked away,

And tried her best to smile.

She said softly "I’ll make it through this,

It’s just taking me a while."

I knew she was hurting,

And I knew her pain was deep.

But she felt the burden was hers,

And hers alone to keep.

I reached out to her,

And our hands entwined.

I said "I love you my friend.

So your burdens are also mine."
