Through the Barrier
You are beautiful, brilliant, intelligent and bright;
You drift through this life giving joy and delight.
Your smile is bewitching, your manner Alluring,
Your presence enthralling, your being enchanting.
Everyone loves you, you seem so in control,
Your life planned ahead, you achieve all your goals,
They see you this way all your family and friends,
In troubles and darkness on you they depend.
You’re selfless and giving, to all those you know,
When someone needs help it’s to you they will go.
A tower of strength, a shoulder to cry on,
a caring heart filled with love and affection
But when I look deeper into your dark eyes,
I see that the laughter and joy is a guise.
The front that you have is just a protective wall,
With you hiding behind all frightened and small.
It saddens me to think the brightest Star I ever knew,
Is so cold, sad and lonely and feeling blue.
The pain and darkness feel quite surreal,
Although the hurt and tears you feel are real.
I’m here for you, the strength to provide
To bring you though, no need to hide
behind the walls that pen you in alone.
Reach out to me - we two are one.
