A reminder

My eye's flutter open,
A new day starts.
The others heavy on my mind.
I look outside,
A perfect day,
Another reminder.
A reminder of the
Hurt, sorrow, and pain.
A reminder of
How it used to be.
A reminder of
Another life.
I carry THEIR pain.
I carry THEIR hurt.
I carry THEIR sorrow.
I protect THEM.
I help THEM.
I still end up hurting THEM.
Everything returns to THEM...
