When someone cries so hard that it hurts their throat, it is out of frustration or knowing that no matter what you can do or attempt to do can change the situation. When you feel like you need to cry, when you want to just get it out, relieve some of the pressure from the inside – that is true pain. Because no matter how hard you try or how bad you want to, you can’t. That pain just stays in place. Then, if you are lucky, one small tear may escape from those eyes that water constantly. That one tear, that tiny, salty, droplet of moisture is a means of escape. Although it’s just a small tear, it is the heaviest thing in the world. And it doesn’t do a damn thing to fix anything.

Darling, you try to save everyone. But when the time comes, who’s there to catch your fall?

‘I usually don’t let them see me fall. So, the answer used to be “nobody”. These days, though… got my sweethearts and my gran all watching out for me. It’s almost scary for someone so used to bein’ alone in the dark… but there’s always someone to try and catch me, now.

‘Of course, I reckon you were askin’ yourself, more, and I just happened by. You could try opening up a little more to your friends, darlin’ There’s a lot of us would help, you know.’
