Cough Syrup

The worst feeling
I have felt
is the moment when
the person you love most
won't or
can't
tell you why they're hurting.

I have felt it before
and I was too weak
to deal with it.

So now with you the symptoms show
and I'm scared
because you seemed different

and yet you trust me with nothing
your feelings
let alone everything else.

With love, Beau xx
