You're still so much alive

[Comatose]

The tears roll down your cheeks

And drip off your chin

As you dig your tiny finger nails

Into your porcelain skin

 

I know this pain all too well

I've felt the terror that I see in your eyes

And I've felt the heaviness of the the broken smile you wear

In front of others; your clever disguise

 

You've forgotten how to love yourself

And I wish so terribly that I could help you see

You are the most beautiful soul I've ever met

But when I tell you this, your fear always has to disagree

 

I know that this is the hardest thing

That you've ever dared to do

It's so hard to let go of the past

And everything you've been through

 

It's OK to be angry, my love

It's OK to be sad

All I ask is that you listen to me when I say,

Lets take it one day at a time - and I swear your world will be safe today

 

If you need to cry sometimes

When I'm not around

Go for it baby

Tears don't mean you're breaking down

 

They show that your still living

For the dead - they never cry

You made it, youre still here

Youre still so much alive

Wow. That's a really good poem. I know someone like that. I try to tell her she's beautiful and worth really being cared about and loved, but she just doens't see it.
