I see you’re aching
and I really really really want to
make you feel better
Even when I know I couldn’t
Even when I know nothing could
I want to say the right words
words as warm as hugs
Because you’re there in the dark
somewhere out of my reach
crying your eyes out
weeping your heart out
from the hollow that crept to swallow you
Still,
I believe peace will find you
Since you’ve been so strong
So incredibly, astoundingly, exceptionally strong
And I want to say the right words
To let you know that
To let you feel that
But now I see you aching
and my heart is breaking, too
Still, I can’t find any word to reach you
Dessy Farhany
Do you know the feeling when someone you really care about is terribly broken-hearted? The agonizing ache for your incapability to make them feel better. That’s bad, is’t it?
