Oh Please Don't

I face the pain
Without a tear
For such a sting
I strongly fear

I show courage
Despite my every woe
For I am weak
But dare not show

Construed am I
With binds that hold
For seen as one
Whose heart is cold

But nay oh see
It’s only such
For I am afraid
To show too much

For if I do
Break down my walls
Tears would pour
Like waterfalls

And I can’t bear
If you should change
And see me then
weak and deranged

So when I fall
To harder times
Don’t expect
That I should cry

But know it then
For truth it is
The pain I feel
Is a traitor’s kiss
