    Another great write Scott - you're turning them out at an amazing rate at the moment!

    It's a never-ending love affair
    Between a breakup and a heart,
    Because until you finally get it right
    False promises will always fall apart.

    - that stanza really jumped out at me, especially the line about the promise always falling apart when they are fake. So true!

    It is a touching write to show someone that you really care about them, and even if they pretend they are doing okay, you know that they are struggling. I like the way you show how you know they are not okay, by the way they hold back their tears but you know they are feeling in pain.

    Yes; I could just turn my head
    And forget everything I saw,

    - I think this is a powerful point too - I think it highlights the true friendship, real friends would not just walk away, they couldn't even if asked to, they would stay and just fight it out together, no matter how long it takes.

    You also mention the control of fear in the voice, this is something else that people seem to forget, that our voice can sometimes deceive us and whilst we are busy pretending to smile, our voice tells the truth by the tones it uses.

    A really good write, with good flow and rhyme, similar to Ben's style. It was smooth and a pleasure to read, especially since the topic was about being a great friend to someone and offering them a message of comfort.

    This piece is a wonderful write and I look forward to reading much more from you, but I think by far the overall outcome of this piece is stunning. I mean truly captivating in concept. The skills are raw but I agree, blooming into something great.

    Nicely penned.

    Though this stanza in particular stands out to me:
    For more sunny days will come to you
    And evaporate your moisten tears,
    Your rejected feelings will smile again
    When your sorrow has finally cleared.
