my grandfather who recently passed away. healthy as a horse until 2 months prior his death. cancer. this one's for my friend. she's broken now. And I wish she were happy. her mom is not shall we say- responsible?

You are beautiful
Young and sweet and strong
But the tears
That cascade down your flawless face
Tell a different story
Than what you tell me
When I see you confide in
Empty space
I wish you would let me
be there to help you
Before you
Break all the way
Because the shattered glass
of your heart
Can only hold together for so long
So Im sorry you couldnt come today
I'm sorry that you see my happy face
To shine out your misery
But maybe happiness
Can surface the joy
Of your life
So no matter what you tell me
I won't beleive you
Because the tears
That cascade down your face
Tell a different story
