My Heart Breaks

My heart breaks every time I see Robert like this.
He has been through so much in the last year.
I wonder how he does it?
Would I have the strength to do it every day?
Would I have the energy to smile at every person requesting my time?
Would I look as tired?

I feel for Robert.
He may be young, but even the young burn out.
Does his agent not see that?
Do his fans not see that he needs a break?

He needs some time.
He needs a breath.
He needs his home.
He needs his loved ones.
He needs himself.

If I could, I would give him that.
Whatever he needed.
I would help.
If only to see his smile return.
His youthful and energetic eyes.
Instead of the torment.
And the frown.
To have a bit of himself back.

I would help. For that.
