I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart

She smiles and laughs.

Pretends like everything is still normal.

Nothing is the same anymore.

Her world seems to be crashing down around her.

It hurts. It's hurting everyone close to her.

She can't fix it. Doesn't know how to.

This is no fairy-tale. There is no magic wand to wave and make it all better and perfect.

She doesn't know what's going to happen.

Make it stop.

So much for crying less.
