I can see the pain

It encompasses your very being

In your eyes, body and soul. 

I watch as it threatens to consume. 

I lift a hand to help, 

Raise you up, 

Lift your spirits

But there's nothing I can do. 

My heart aches

As yours breaks. 

I see you falling

My outstretched hand missed. 

I will always be there

Right next to you, 

Waiting for the time

Where I can help you. 

Until then, 

I'll sit here

As quietly as I can

Silently watching you break.
