All the wrong words

I'm sorry you're in pain
You're right I can't heal you
I can't fill all those wounds
I want to though
It fills me with dread
Drenches me in sorrow
It's all I feel from you
I stopped talking
Of those who make me happy
It seems you only hurt more
I wish I could make you laugh
That I could end your loneliness
Inspire you with laughter
Offer you a smile of your own
You try to pretend sometimes
I see right through it
Not on purpose
It's the need to protect
To make it all better
And yes it's selfish
I hate to be depressed
When the pain isn't my own
It tears me apart inside
Torches my hyper spirits
Crushes my laughter
My own happiness
I won't tell you though
It would only cause more hurt
To both you and me
So I'll release it slowly
Purging it in words
Strung together
As though shattered crystal
