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
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
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 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
I wish I could explain
To you how I feel
What I want to convey
What I want to convey
How much I care for you
How much you mean to me.
But I can't.
Fuck language barriers.
