strained from crying

i see you
writhing in pain
you try to hide it all with a smile
but you forget how much i can see in your eyes
i know your scared, i know your hurting, i know you dont like talking about it
and i know that you want me to stop worrying, but i cant, i wont, i want to help you
i hear your voice, strained from crying, that sound kills me, i ache to see you, to hug you and tell you its going to work out, i feel so useless, theres nothing i can do to stop the pain ahead of you, what kind of a man am i to be unable to protect you?
please stop hurting, id do anything to make you stop hurting, hes driving you crazy, if only for yourself, you need to get away from him, and if not for yourself, than for the ones that care about you, for me
i cant get that sound out of my head, that sound of self hatred, and depression, that sound of your voice, strained from crying, it haunts me, you have no reason to hate yourself, your so sweet, and gentle and caring, and youre too young to have a voice that sounds like that
