“Please, please don’t cry,” he says.
And try she does for him.
What of the cost to her?
For now she cannot feel.
To end her tears, she must not feel.
So numb she becomes.
This bleak unfeeling world she’s in.
She looks around uncaring.
How long will it last?
Who holds the key?
For now she has no will to fight.
But no longer will she shed any tears.
