Barbie Koerth Poet I do not know?

Blue Eyes and Pain

You sit there with a blank look on your face
I'm wondering what brought you to this place
In which you have allowed yourself to sink and dwindle into
I walk over to you and I put my arms around you 
You shrug off the hug and push me away
I don't know how to get you to stay
You appear to be so happy 
however I know the real you.
I know the pain and hurt within 
I've seen it before my friend
Behind those blue eyes
Behind that smile
I see it
I see the pain 
I see the hurt
I see the blame
I see the shame
We've all been there before 
Just on opposite sides of the door
Sometimes we fall and we can't lift ourselves from the floor
For the pain is too much
I'm here always
I'm here yesterday 
I'm here today
I will be here all the tomorrows
Don't go through this pain alone
