It’ll Soon Be Okay

Why does salt fly down these cheeks

When I’m not even physically hurting

It’s all emotional

Why does my heart hurt

When it isn’t mine breaking

It’s your heart

It’s because when you’re hurting

I’m hurting too

Maybe not in the same way, but close

I wish I could stop your pain

Then everything’s okay

I wish I could stop them from hurting you

But they don’t see your tears either

Mine don’t count

All I can do for you is smile and with a cliché

“Everything will soon be okay.”

But it’s not

The oceans we created have already collided

We’ve cried enough to make glaciers

The blood and tears that went through everything has fallen,

It’s all dark, even black

But all I can do is suggest

To make everything right again

Because this is your problem

And I can feel your pain

It hurts me too

But you’re the one who needs to tell an adult

Someone to help you more than I could with the cliché

“It will soon be okay.”
