Utterly Helpless

I really wish
that I could do more

Like pick you up
from the bathroom floor

Hug you when
your heart is breaking

And give you comfort
when your bones are aching

But for as much as
your pain to me is known

This is a journey
you must walk alone

  1. This is one of your best poems yet. Empathy. Compassion. But the reminder that you really have to rescue yourself in the end. We can only go so far with those who are hurting.
