We'll soldier on together - Mel Afoa

Don't try and fake it,
I can see your invisible tears,
the streaming lines making odd patterns,
across the plains of your beauty.
Don't try and hide it,
be ashamed of not opening up,
the scars and bruises like tattoos,
etched across your body, inked forever.
Don't try and ignore it,
the filth that spread on his hands,
hurting you externally, the damage spread within,
hiding from those that offer you a shoulder.
Don't try and love it,
what is done has been done,
ripped you as if tearing petals off a rose,
scattered you around the garden,
walking slowly away from the pain and misery.
Sit down and scream it all out to me,
hold my hand and cry over my shoulder,
I can help put the pieces of your puzzle back together,
I can see the shame and misery swimming in your irises,
hold me, kiss me, forget him,
we'll soldier on together,
you me, together to forever.
