Sorry doesn't seem to help

I want to call, text.
I want to reach out and hug you.

I want to say that word, phrase . . . that one thing that will take away the pain

Shattered. The news was shattering.

How can I tell you
How much I care
How much I am sorry
How deeply I feel

How can it be enough, how can anything be enough
Right now

What will I do
Next time I see you

To hug or say a word
Will bring the shattered glass back
I want to glue it together
But I'm afraid I'll break it yet again

I don't know why . . . it's not for us to know why
I won't say something . . . "to make you feel better"

I can't
Those words don't exist

Not yet anyways
Not now
Only time

All I have . . . right here, right now
All I can offer . . . all I can give
Are my heart, my prayers, my deep desire

To take away your pain
To repair the shattered dream
To help you . . . some how, some way

But all I can do
Is tell you I care, I'm sorry
And to spread as many thoughts and prayers

And let you know
I'm right here

  1. And that is often enough. You care. Your friends and family are blessed to know you.
