I see you beyond the surface

I see the weight you bear, In every glance, in every prayer. The love you lost, the pain you feel, The wounds you try to keep concealed. The choices made, the roads you took, The secrets in the silence that shook. A heart divided, a soul betrayed, The games you played, the price you paid. I see the regret in your tired eyes, The truth you hide, the endless lies. You stand so strong, but deep inside, The battle rages, the tears you hide. You built a life, but now it's gone, The echoes of love, now just a song. And yet, you fight, though you've been torn, In the ashes of what's been mourned. The world may never know your pain, But I see the storm, I feel the strain. You wear a mask, but I can tell, You're not okay, you're not as well. Still, in your heart, there's hope so pure, A will to heal, a need for cure. And though you're lost in all this strife, You carry on, you fight for life.
