A person doesn't live alone
They die
By living with someone
Who doesn't care about them,
Who is with them for selfish reasons only
They get suffocated
By becoming a second choice always
By feeling that
They'll never be someone's priority
They suffer

How are they alive
Didn't the loneliness kill them?
Didn't they shatter into thousands of pieces upon being used?
Didn't they feel like dieing
Upon becoming just a backup?

And their smile
Yes the same smile which everyone finds very lovely
The same smile no one is there to protect
How is it still there?

Who will explain people
Corpse also walk
How can someone look shattered
When they are broken from inside
Not every smile reaches the eyes
The tears in one's eyes aren't shown.

PS: Never make someone feel they deserve to be a second option only, not a priority
Never expect a person to come and tell you their pain easily,
if they could they wouldn't be broken
Never ignore the signs, giving hints is the most a person suffering can do
Never let the person willing to die reach the level of attempting once
they won't stop till they succeed.
