I'm just so sorry.

Every limped step that you take
Every pained look that flashes on your face
Every spaced out gaze that you get

scares me. 

Because I don't know
What's going to happen
What I need to do
What is expected of me.

I wish I could just
Understand the cancerous
Pain that leeches onto you
The viscous poison that
Grabs a hold of
Your precious lungs
Or if I could
Read the 
Soothing words or 
Calming phrases from out 
Of your mind
Help you move along.

But I can't.
Not when my
Words
Clash and Destroy
Yours.
Not when the distance
Is widening 
Rather than closing.
Not when 
Your pain 
And suffering
And age
Exceed mine.

I thought that 
Everything would
Be fine
That I could
Just close my
Eyes to everything and
It could disappear.

It didn't.
Like a vicious 
Detrimental patch of bacteria
Or 
A outbreak of a plague
Or
A spread of a virus
It didn't get better.

I wish this 
Never happened.
That age and time
Only existed
In our minds
And that
We could rebirth 
Ourselves again 
And again
And again
And again.

But life's not fair.
Over and 
Over and
Over again
You wish 
That something would
Shine your way, 
But the sun rises
From the east
And sets in the west
As you lay
Six feet under.

Death brings
A family closer,
Does it not?

No.
I've never felt
So far away from
You as
I do
Now.

I'm
Just
So 
Sorry.
I wish I could do more.
I wish I could explain 
To you how I feel
What I want to convey
How much I care for you
How much you mean to me.

But I can't.

Fuck language barriers.
