He didn't— he couldn't even— he didn't think he could cry, without—

And it was like that, it's been like that, since my brother— since Jacob died, no one wants us to- to feel something.

[ She swallows. Her hands fall from her face, but she still stays there slumped. ]

They said we had to
Push through the pain
Push hard through the pain till we're fine.
But I could see all his sorrow,
Held him close for protection.
A man who the world should've saved.


[ She looks up, and she scoffs. ]

Pain won't help,
They think.

I know...
Hurt is real!


[ Her shoulders shake. She trembles. And yet— ]

Now, I need to feel all the ache I can feel!

I wanted to sit
In the dark with him,
In the dark with him,
Let him revisit his tears never cried!

In the dark with him,
In the dark with him,
No one and nothing would break through the darkness inside!
