The Paradox of Caring

February 21, 2016

It hurts to see you fall apart

But rather I see it

Than look right past it

And not see

Even if I can't help

It hurts to hide my pain and cracks from you

But rather I hurt a bit more

Crack more

Than cause you pain with the knowledge

Even if you can help
