Agony

Tell me words, words of pain
Of broken abandoned lanes
Dreams you dreamt 
In the cover of night
Have you lost all that
Ever made you bright?
Do you whimper from wounds
That never heal? 
Do you also swallow taunts 
At every meal?
Do you eyes swell 
from tears?
Has it ever become 
Too much to bear?
I want to hear your 
Bitter laughs and broken smiles
So let me stay
 for some more while 
as you stand beneath the 
burden of skies
trying to survive 
one of a thousand lives.

A piquant situation, yet why trauma bond? Unless we’re totally out of options

I feel sometimes it is the only way to understand and help someone.
