i swear the pain in your eyes
speaks to me
it tells me everything
that you are just like me.

its okay,
i feel it too.
i swear we all do.

its the pain in your eyes,
that slaps me in the face,
whispering to me,
reminding me of my mistakes.

but its ok,
i swear its true,
because the pain in your eyes
that makes up you
