Pushing Pain

Your pain kills me;
it always does.
I see you hurting yourself,
and I can't do a thing.

You try to kill your pain;
you try to make it go away,
but your try's only make it worse.
The pain intensifies.

Your hurt is visible;
you push me away;
you try to fix it in the worst ways.
Don't you see?

I love you,
and you love me,
but we can never be,
until you find
that you can love yourself
through the pain.
